Mark DeRosa Marquee

He was a quarterback at Pennsylvania before he was a ballplayer, and he spent seven years in Atlanta as a spare infielder. Texas made him a regular at thirty-one and he hit .296 with 13 home runs; the Cubs signed him and he hit 21 with 87 runs batted in for the 2008 club that won 97 games.

Sixteen seasons gave him 975 hits, 196 doubles, 100 home runs, 494 runs batted in and a .268 average, with 363 games at third base, 343 at second, 250 in the outfield and 140 at shortstop.

Wrist surgery in 2010 cost him most of two seasons and he was never the same hitter. He retired after 2013 and became an analyst on MLB Network, and he managed the United States team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. He is not on a Hall of Fame ballot.
