Mark DeRosa's First Day Of Action

So what if Mark DeRosa began facing "real" pitchers in batting practice only Sunday? He singled on the first pitch he saw in Tuesday's exhibition.

"Spring Training's about working on things. I understand you have to take some pitches," DeRosa said. "But at the same token, this is my first time I've seen live action in four or five months. So I at least wanted to pull the trigger on a few things."

DeRosa left the game after four innings -- "I could have played nine," he insisted -- and isn't expected to play Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.
