The Curse of Wrigley Field

The Cubs gave their infield a boost when they signed Mark DeRosa, who broke out in 2006 to the tune of 13 homeruns and 74 RBIs.  DeRosa can play pretty much anywhere and for three years and $13 million, he makes a low risk, potentially substantial upgrade to a light hitting infield.  The question is, will DeRosa be able to repeat his career year for the Cubs or was it just that Rangers offense being contagious.

This also makes Ronny Cedeno the off man out.  Apparantly he’s going to have to play for his spot after the shortstop had a rough 2006 campaign.  Maybe bench coach and former shortstop Alan Trammell can work with him.
