Derrek began his carrer with San Diego Padres but really became well known when he was traded to the Florida Marlins. There he became known for his power, speed and great field work which he earned him his first Gold Glove.
In 2003 he was vital in the Marlins run to the World Series. In the fall of 2004 he was traded to the Chicago Cubs. And in the 2005 season, Derrek became a superstar. He hit 47 homeruns had 107 RBIs and batted .335 He won his second Gold Glove has well as the NL Batting Title and the the Silver Slugger for firstbase. It is widely considered that if the Chicago Cubs had had a winning record Derrek would have won the MVP that year. Unfortunetly in 2006 Derrek was stroke by the injury bug. He broke his wrist ealry on in the season and missed most of the year with two stints on the DL. However Derrek is expected ot bounce back in 2007 and regain his status as one of the top players in the game.
