 Mike Gonzalez-R - Braves Nov. 13 - 7:16 pm et  

Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that the Nationals have interest in Mike Gonzalez and Mark DeRosa.
Gonzalez posted a 2.42 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 80 appearances as Atlanta's set-up man in 2009 and would certainly improve a bullpen that was the worst in the majors for the great majority of the season. He'd be a wiser end-game option than Mike MacDougal. As for the versatile DeRosa, Washington will have plenty of competition, as several teams have already inquired about the 34-year-old. Though he played mostly third base in 2009, Ladson notes that the Nationals have interest in him as a second baseman or left fielder.

 Mark DeRosa-3B - Cardinals Nov. 11 - 3:51 pm et

Jon Heyman of SI.com writes that several teams have already inquired about Mark DeRosa.
Heyman lists the Yankees, Mariners, Nationals, Dodgers, Phillies, Orioles, Rangers and Giants as those with early interest in the 34-year-old. DeRosa underwent surgery on his left wrist in October, but it doesn't look to have limited his potential suitors.

 Mark DeRosa-3B - Cardinals Nov. 10 - 8:52 am et

Randy Miller of the Bucks County Courier Times writes that the Phillies are expected to attempt to sign free agent Mark DeRosa.
Now that general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. turned down Pedro Feliz's option for 2010, the Phillies are expected to consider a number of free agents, including DeRosa, Adrian Beltre and Chone Figgins. DeRosa played quarterback at the University of Pennsylvania, so this would be a bit of a homecoming for the 34-year-old. DeRosa batted .250/.319/.433 with 23 homers and 78 RBI in 2009, but he struggled after joining the Cardinals, batting just .228/.291/.405 with 10 home runs and 28 RBI. DeRosa underwent surgery on his left wrist in October, but is expected to be ready in time for spring training.

 Mark DeRosa-3B - Cardinals Oct. 29 - 8:52 am et

Mark DeRosa underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist on Monday.
The impending free agent should be able to resume baseball activities in time for spring training. He injured the wrist not long after being acquired from the Indians, batting just .228/.291/.405 with 10 home runs and 28 RBI in 237 at-bats with St. Louis. General manager John Mozeliak has said that the Cardinals would like to give David Freese a shot at the third base job during spring training, minimizing the chance that DeRosa will return.

 David Freese-3B - Cardinals Oct. 20 - 8:56 am et  

According to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, David Freese should get a chance to win the third base job next season.
"We have to look at the make-up of our club and how everything comes together between now and next spring. But given the second half that he had in Triple-A and how he played up here, it's my preference to give David a chance to win the job," said general manger John Mozeliak. This probably signals the end for Mark DeRosa. Freese won a roster spot out of spring training this season, but batted just .158 over 19 at-bats in April before being sent down to the minors. He was 7-for-12 as a September call-up. The 26-year-old showed good pop with Triple-A Memphis this season, batting .300/.369/.525 with 10 homers and 37 RBI. The Cardinals are looking for stability at a position where eight different players were used in 2009.
