Mark DeRosa is close to accepting a two-year deal from the Giants, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.
It has been rumored that the Giants offered DeRosa a two-year, $12 million contract. Assuming Rosenthal's report is correct and he signs with San Francisco, DeRosa would step into a full-time gig, likely at third base, with Pablo Sandoval making the switch across the diamond to first base, where he'll be less of a defensive liability long-term. DeRosa, 34, would also be used as a "super-utility man," according to Rosenthal, filling in around the diamond as the Giants see fit. He batted .250/.319/.433 with 23 homers, 23 doubles and 78 RBI this past season. Source: FOXSports.com
