DeRosa will turn 34 next season, and he just had, by far, the best season of his career.
How many guys improve, or stay the same in their mid-30's? Five percent? Ten?
Perhaps the whole age-adjustment thing has finally dawned on Jim, and he's acting accordingly.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I just don't see why he'd do that for such a little return when DeRo was arguably our MVP. It's different if you're getting a legitimate player or two in return but these prospects seem unlikely to make an impact. We're talking about just one season of the guy, it's not like Lee and Soriano's situations.
