Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, March 22, 2008
“It’s funny for me,” DeRosa said Friday at Hi Corbett Field. “I feel like I’ve done enough… where I shouldn’t be put in this position. Hopefully Jim and (manager Lou Piniella) realize I’m one of the best hitters they have and my bat should be in the lineup.”
...
So has he put the Roberts rumor behind him? “I’ll put it behind me when I see who starts and I’m playing second, or if he’s here and I’m playing somewhere else,” DeRosa said. “I don’t worry about it. I know how good a player he is. I respect what he brings to the table and what he has done.
“At the same time, his arrival means I’m not playing second. So unless there’s another spot on the infield, or another spot in the outfield that’s open that I’m not aware of, it makes for an uncomfortable spring.”
...
Piniella isn’t set on a leadoff man, and even mentioned Fukudome in that role Friday. That suggests the Cubs still are trying hard to acquire one, with Roberts and Coco Crisp mentioned most.
