After we have all fallen in love with him over the past month or so and some decent stats and D, there's no way we can just let this guy grab another seat on the DFA carousel is there??
Are DeRosa/Boni/Izzy DFA'able/tradeable?
DeRosa has grown on me and as a 25th guy playing sparingly, I like him.
Boni is starting to come around, has lots of speed but can't play any of his positions well. Ability to play the OF (not well of course) also helps a little.
Izzy has a decent track record but he'd be the one (taking in his contract) I'd dump on another team if possible.
Kawasaki grinds out ABs, runs up pitch counts, and gets on base at a pretty decent clip. Defensively, he's what I'd call very average, and his noodle arms hurts his overall D. Thus moving him to second (in a platoon-ish role maybe with Boni?) His D would likely improve where he doesn't need to use his arm as much.
All I know is I want this guy around for the rest of the year and maybe longer. Is there any way AA holds onto him when Reyes comes back in a month or so?
