The Braves have expressed interest in DeRosa
according to SI.com’s truth and rumors. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
DOB said it too
and he also said the Braves have asked about Carl Crawford.
but im sure this is the time of year GMs ask about pretty much anybody.
"Are you tryin to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?"
Crawford would be awesome
but imagine the package of prospects he would require. All things considered, I’d rather have DeRosa.
just for future reference
