SF Giants Rumors – Do Giants Fans Want DeRosa?
Posted on December 21st, 2009 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune says the Giants pursuit of a hitter of two has been impeded by the uncertainty over how much two time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum could make in arbitration. They Yankees and Giants are interested in Mark DeRosa, but aren’t giving in to his request for a three year, $20 million deal.
King of Cali thoughts: I do see the Giants trying to hold out as long as possible right now, so they can see how much money they have to pay Lincecum in arbitration. I guess we should be happy, cause this is a good problem to have.
A lot of writers have been reporting how interested the Giants are in DeRosa. This still isn’t the move I have been waiting for. Lets go after someone who can help the offense a little more than DeRosa. I wouldn’t mind falling back on DeRosa. I would rather see Juan Uribe back playing third. He would be cheaper and he does have some pop. Then they can save some money by not signing DeRosa and use that for another player. Another option at third base is Miguel Tejada. Am I the only one that isn’t that excited about a DeRosa signing?

we need to get DeRosa before someone else does
we don’t need DeRosa and I don’t really want him I’d try to get Tejada or Beltre before getting DeRosa
I’m hoping the Dan Uggla talks start heating up again because that’s who I really want this offseason but I think Beltre or Tejada are most likely since there are really no other teams interested in them right now so they could maybe come cheap
