I mean, this season kind of come out of nowhere. He had career years in like every major offensive category.
I know that you can say this about every player, but I just feel as though we could all be very disappointed come October with DeRo's numbers.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's more than just his numbers though. Even if he goes back to pre-Cub days, him hitting .260 or whatever is still better than most of our options and it gives us a chance to try and find an upgrade in many positions. He can play 3b,2b,rf, and maybe some lf? or short if it was do or die. 1b a little?
