My Take
Mark DeRosa is my kind of ballplayer: the versatile journeyman every contender quietly covets. Bouncing through the Braves, Rangers, Cubs, Cardinals, Giants, and more between 1998 and 2013 isn't a sign of instability; it's proof that managers kept wanting a guy who could play anywhere on the infield and still hit. Stars get the headlines, but utility men win the games nobody remembers. What impresses me most is his second act as a sharp broadcaster and manager, which suggests a baseball mind that was always thinking ahead of the play. I'll take a reliable craftsman over a flashy phenom any day.
