DeRosa Traded to Indians

[Clapp]

So the Indians have 2 of our biggest leaders from last year. This sickens me a bit. At least we still have Dempster and Lee around for that.

Seeing DeRosa in an Indians hat on espnews makes me want to fucking puke. If we're not getting Jake Peavy I'm furious about this.

His wife might be the hottest thigh associated with the Tribe now...

Totally agreed.
I thought this past post-season was as close to the last straw as I could get with the Cubs, but now if we gave away DeRo for NOTHING and are replacing him with fucking Bush-League Miles, I may have to join whoever else is jumping off that bridge.
Just tell me when and where.

I just looked into the prospects a little more.

Jeff Stevens is a 25 year old RP that K's a lot of people. Not a major prospect, but could help out in the pen. Started last season in AA and moved up to AAA in the second half. He was a 6th round pick in the 2005 draft out of Loyola Marymount.

John Gaub will be 24 in April. He is a RP who spent the entire season in A Ball. He K'd 100 in 64 innings. He played 3 years of college ball at Minnesota.

Chris Archer turned 20 years old in September. He was a 5th round pick in 2006. He started 27 games in A ball and struggled with his control. 4.29 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 106K, 84 BB in 115 IP.

Good call, thanks.

Sounds like a pretty thin haul for DeRosa. Here's hoping we picked those pitchers because they were on a certain team's list...

Maybe Stevens would be of interest to SD,but I highly doubt either of those other two chumps were on any list to be included for one the best SP's in all of baseball.

This fuckin sucks.

Does this mean Mike Fontenote is the starting 2B for your 2009 Chicago Cubs?

Looks like a Miles/Fontenot platoon to me.

It means that with the existing roster some combination of Theriot/Fontenot/Miles will likely be the middle IF

I couldn't help but notice Koz weighing in on the deal over at NSBB:
