Mark DeRosa

Rangers' manager Buck Showalter stated that Mark DeRosa will remain the starter at 2B when Ian Kinsler returns from the DL.

When managers make nutso statements like that, I dismiss them and then try to trade for the displaced starter knowing talent will win out over the lunatic public avowal.

But in Buck Showalter's case, I move much cautiously. He has his favorites and plays them regardless of talent evaluations.

As a result, DeRosa is a safe pick-up from the free agent pool.

As much as that pains me to write.
