Yeah -- I'm pretty sure you're right. I do feel like I heard that quote. However, we already had Fontenot on the roster -- we didn't need to trade DeRosa to get more left-handed (unless getting Miles was actually considered an upgrade).
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But Fontenot wasn't going to start if DeRosa was here. They wanted Fontenot to get more at bats, and I think we'll be happy with the decision.

Not when Bradley goes down for half the season, we won't.
