I agree that it may not be dramatic, and perhaps he's that one-in-a-thousand position player who improves during his 30's. But the odds are decidedly against that, and baseball logic dictates that we should trade him now, at his relative peak in value.
Because of Utley's injury,the Phils are probably desperate for a fill-in 2nd baseman type, and we have TWO guys who fit that bill pretty well, so I do see them as a good trading partner.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
i don't think anyone has suggessteed that derosa would improve. theres no reason to think he won't bat in the neighborhood of .280, 15, 80 however.
