SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mark DeRosa had barely been in the clubhouse for five minutes unpacking his things Thursday morning when Aubrey Huff arrived and the razzing began.
DeRosa is loving it. The San Francisco utilityman feels like a new man this spring. He’s healthy at last, truly part of the team again.
His troublesome left wrist finally healed following a second surgery that cost him most of last season, DeRosa is ready to do whatever is asked for the World Series champions. Manager Bruce Bochy’s plan: play him everywhere. DeRosa will take groundballs this spring at each spot of the infield, including shortstop to give the Giants some insurance behind new addition Miguel Tejada.
Bochy and DeRosa met Thursday in the skipper’s office to map out a schedule for the coming weeks.
