Or Cedeno, and you could also say Hoffpauir is taking DeRosa roster spot, with Fontenot getting a bigger role. People can word it anyway they want it to make it sound better to prove their point. Overall this is what we did though. Lost DeRosa-RH Edmonds-LH Ward- LH Cedeno-RH Added Bradley-S Hoffpauir-LH Miles-S Gathright-LH I guess it depends on how good you feel Hoffpauir can do against RH pitching next year, will factor in how good you feel about the switch. If you feel Hoffpauir can have a 850 OPS(facing mostly RH pitching) off the bench filling in at RF, LF and 1b for 250 AB's or so. Then you probably won't feel we downgraded much, and depending on how much Bradley gives us(should be at least 100 more AB's then Edmonds did) and If Fontenot hits the way the Cubs think he wil, you can actually say we might have upgraded. But right now people can't see that as being possible, because Mark DeRosa is awesome. Or because people don't trust Bradley enough to stay healthy. The second bradley gets hurt we're going to feel the loss of DeRosa. I was fine with signing Bradley or trading DeRosa, but not both. And I don't know how you can try to spin it around any other way than Miles replacing DeRosa. That's exactly who he is replacing. There's a reason both moves were made on the same day. All the other moves don't change that Miles was brought in to replace DeRosa. It was going to be one of those 2 guys.
