DeRosa Was Tired Of Being 'Plan B'
Oct 15, 2014 12:12 AM
A lot of teams were considering free-agent Mark DeRosa as an alternative to their first target, which upset the utility man.
DeRosa signed a two-year deal with the Giants on Monday.
"I was just tired of being a lot of team's Plan Bs," DeRosa said. "I'm not hitting No. 3 or 4 in the lineup ... I understand that. (But) I wanted to go to a place where I felt comfortable and where the team wanted me and needed me. This was a good spot."
DeRosa said about six teams were on his final list of options, though not every one had an offer on the table.
