fontenot replaced derosa. why is this so hard to understand?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I dunno, Fontenot is getting the at bats that DeRosa would have gotten, Miles is getting the at bats that Fontenot would have gotten had DeRosa still been here. Therefore, it seems that even though Fontenot took the starting spot from DeRosa, the actual replacement is Miles for DeRosa.

All that said, it really doesn't matter. I'd love to have DeRo still. Especially while ARam was out. But his absence is not going to be the difference in this team making or not making the playoffs.

I don't think that makes a lot of sense. Miles may have taken DeRosa's roster spot, but not his role. I mean if we'd have signed a pitcher to fill that roster spot, would it be the case that the pitcher replaced DeRosa?
