Mets Confirm Interest in Mark DeRosa
Now that move makes even more sense. DeRosa could play shortstop until Reyes recovers from his right-calf injury – DeRosa would be an offensive upgrade from utilityman Ramon Martinez – and then move to first base while Delgado works back from hip surgery.
DeRosa, whom the out-of-contention Tribe acquired in December from the Cubs, has played 139 games at shortstop (mostly in 2001-05) and 17 at first base. But it's expected he could handle both positions adequately.
