DeRosa to Phillies?

According to Philly.com, the Phillies are reportedly interested in the Chicago Cubs Mark DeRosa.

DeRosa can play both 2nd base and left field, and had 21 homers last season for the Cubs. The Phillies woudl reportedly send a minor league to the Cubs, which could be J.A. Happ. The Padres would also be involved in the deal, as they would send Jake Peavey to the Cubs.

This tells us two things about the Phillies off season plan. First, it looks like Pat Burrell will not be resigned, and the Phillies will go with a mix of DeRosa and Geoff Jenkins at left. Also, it tells us that maybe Chase Utley could miss more time then they are letting on, and that is why they feel the need to acquire DeRosa.

Remember, this is just a rumor, and ESPN says that the Cubc are no where near getting Peavey, which could affect the Phillies deal.
