Why not, we need another righty off the bench.
Braves claim Mark DeRosa, Nevermind.

No but I doubt it takes long to finalize if true.

Not really, you've Gattis, and Joey T and when he comes back, Reed Johnson, plus Gerald Laird, so they're pretty right handed heavy.

Joey is mainly lefty.
Reed, ok.
Never can have enough options. Don't see what's wrong with adding a proven veteran off the bench.

I'm not opposed to adding DeRosa, he'd be great in the clubhouse, just don't see the fit if he can't play short, because he would have to take Janish's spot.

We can call Janish back up in September.
Janish is the only backup infielder we have now.
I think he'd replace Constanze whose useless, or Cunningham.

Yeah, he's owed only around 250K for the rest of the year.

Always liked DeRosa, but I frankly don't see how he fits. Doesn't play SS anymore and is probably worse than Johnson and Uggla at their respective positions. Nice bench bat, but that's about it.

What'll be interesting is if Fredi decides to carry three catchers in the playoffs. I think he would, but there's a possibility if not, that we could use both DeRo and Janish.
What I was thinking.

If they do indeed acquire DeRosa and with Schafer ready to come back, before Friday's game you could see DeRo take Janish's spot and Schafer take Constanza's spot. Then when Gerald Laird is ready to come back, Todd Cunningham will go down. I think the Braves will keep Reed Johnson DL'd until September so they can keep Joey T on the team.
Didn't even know Laird was on DL, I thought he was still Day to Day with kidney stone.

Doubt it, probably a bullpen arm.

Laird was put on the DL when BJ Upton was activated. That's how Constanza is still on the team. But that will end Friday when Schafer returns.

Take Cunningham off to make room for DeRo.

It could be that they do that with Schafer returning, you still would have Schafer, Joey T and Gattis and DeRo has back up outfielders, so yeah, they could very well do that.
