[h2]Florida Marlins keeping an eye on Giants INF Mark DeRosa as third base option[/h2]by: Juan C. RodriguezApril 27th, 2011
Last weekend, Ken Rosenthal mentioned Mark DeRosa would be perfect for the Marlins. They just might agree with him.

According to a source who has spoken with the team’s front office, the Marlins have begun weighing the merits of making a run at the Giants’ infielder to solidify their third base situation. Including Greg Dobbs, who started there in Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers, the Marlins have used four different players at third. The plan coming out of spring training was to give Donnie Murphy the bulk of the playing time, but he’s been slowed by injuries and timing issues at the plate.

DeRosa, 36, is an attractive option on a few levels. He’s earning $6 million in the final year of a two-year, $12 million deal. For example, if the Marlins acquired him on May 15, he would cost them about $4.5 million through season’s end. That’s assuming the Giants don’t cover a portion of DeRosa’s money, which they might to get a better prospect. Because his contract is up after 2011, DeRosa wouldn’t block third base prospect Matt Dominguez.

Defensively, DeRosa has logged more career innings at third (2,431) than any other position. He’s below average at this point, but DeRosa also provides the versatility to play second and the outfield. Offensively, DeRosa has totaled just 111 at-bats with the Giants since joining them last season because of a wrist injury. He hit .194 in 2010, but is off to a 6-for-18 start this season. His playing time has been limited with the resurgence of Pablo Sandoval. For his career, DeRosa can boast a .273 average and .342 on-base percentage in almost 3,300 at-bats.

The intangibles are off the chart. DeRosa would have no trouble fitting into the Marlins’ clubhouse.
