DeRosa is having a decent year and he's a pretty good player, but he's entering the final year of his contract and he's definitely regressed in some areas (look at his K rates, his K/BB, his LD%, and his wOBA, all of which are worse than last season). His power production has lifted an otherwise mediocre season.

But the Cubs got pitching depth. They traded away 1 year of service for many years of service. Stevens has already made it to the majors and has pitched well between the big leagues and AAA. He'll be likely be a pen arm for the next few years. Gaub has been great between AA and AAA and might crack the major league roster this season. It's looking like he will also be in the bullpen for a while as a LOOGY. Even if Chris Archer doesn't make the major league team, the Cubs have traded away 1 year of service for quite a few more.

I don't mind the DeRosa trade, but I do mind the way Hendry bungled every subsequent move last offseason. Aaron Miles was a joke from the beginning.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
