I never said I had a problem with Fontenot. I'm glad he's going to get plenty of playing time.
However, one has nothing to do with the other. Let's do some math.
These players are likely to miss this many games (guesstimates, of course):
Bradley -- 60 - 70
Alf -- 20 - 30
Ramirez -- 20 - 30
Lee could use days off -- 20
Give Fontenot a rest against tough lefties -- 15
So, on the low end, that's about 135 games. On the high end, it's a full season worth of games. DeRosa can play all of those positions.
This is why I'm lamenting DeRosa's loss. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Fontenot.
