DeRosa and Fontenot were on the same team in 2008. One didn't have to leave to make room for the other.

Really? Fontenot got a whopping 284 plate appearances last year. He already has 92 now. The Cubs wanted him to get the chance to play just about everyday, and he wouldn't have with DeRosa here. I don't know how you're not getting that. DeRosa would've been the starting 2B, just like last year.
