Cubs Ship DeRosa to Indians

The Chicago Cubs have shipped the veteran utility player known as Mark DeRosa to the Cleveland Indians for a package of minor-league arms. Cleveland sent Chicago pitchers Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer, and John Gaub and will receive quite the versatile player. Mark will likely be the full-time third-baseman, and gives Cleveland 20+ HR pop from a corner-spot.
Cubs GM Jim Hendry decided to sell high on the aging DeRosa, and instead grab some prospects and give the job to recently signed Aaron Miles.
