But I'm not talking OPS, I'm talking players on the whole...I'd rather have DeRosa than Fontenot right now, though we're still a .500 team with him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The thing is, I feel DeRosa on this team instead of Fontenot makes that much of a difference on this team. Lee still would have struggled at the beginning of the year. Soto, Soriano, and Bradley would still have been hitting sub .240 at this time in the year.
Say what you will about DeRosa/Fontenot and by all means be upset about it; but don't blame the .500 record on DeRosa not being a Cub. I keep seeing this as a major focal point around here and in many cases a chief reason why the Cubs are struggling this season and there's plenty of blame to go around for that.
