Who is selling DeRosa short? Just because there is a better option for more at bats does not mean the alternative is being sold short. A lot of people envisioned Murton as our starting LF for many years, but when Soriano was signed, they were happy to upgrade. That did not mean that they felt that Murton was automatically a bad player, just that there was a better option. Besides, ARam, DLee, Sori, and Fuku all needs days off. DeRo is perfect for that role, no? Derosa said himself that he expects to be starting everyday (his WCSR morning interview earlier this week). He didn't understand why Lou benched him the last time. Cool. That really had nothing to do with what we were talking about though. Weren't you talking about if DeRosa should be benched or not? I'm just saying DeRosa said himself he didn't want to be benched. I can't imagine any player admitting that they wanted to be benched, Gagne and Izzy aside. Pretty sure I was responding to people "selling DeRo short", and I just pointed out that finding creative ways to get Cedeno (a better option) AND DeRosa on the field is not selling someone short.
