When someone plays way above his head, the Cubs expect it to continue the following year. Fontenot was good in his roll last year and the Cubs thought he would perform at a similar level given full time AB's, so DeRosa was expendable. The were wrong about Fontenot, which makes the DeRosa trade stupid. As was said above, Miles was brought in to be a backup- which makes his contract even dumber.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Wouldn't expecting a guy like DeRosa to maintain or better his career year which occurred at age 33 be the very definition of "Gary Gaetti" syndrome? Much more so than expecting a guy to repeat his age 28 season, like Fontenot?

No. Gaetti was 39 years old and hit .320/.397/.594 in only 37 games with the Cubs after a handful of pretty mediocre seasons. I don't see how you can compare that situation to DeRosa.

Fontenot doesn't really compare to Gaetti either. He's closer to Hollandsworth -- which was also a bad idea.
