I was disappointed to see the Blue Jays pull DeRosa off waivers last night. One rumor was the Braves claimed him, but KC is above them in the pecking order.
DeRosa would be an upgrade over Johnson. He can play multiple positions, and although he doesn't have Johnson's glove he'd be a much better bat. He's someone who could spell Moose vs. tough lefties and give Tejada a couple of days off a week. He'd cost $230K the rest of this season, and he's signed for $750K next year. The Jays say that's why they're keeping him.
