Brewers need for DeRosa was certainly lessened by McGehee's performance. While the Brewers could use an extra bat, the critical need is in the rotation.

DeRosa is a nice little player but he does have his warts as well. He is below average defensively on the IF and has been very erratic as a hitter vs RHP. He has also faded a bit in the second half in each of his fulltime seasons which may or may not just be statistical noise but I could see it having some merit since he was a part timer so long.
I sure hope McGehee is DeRosa. DeRosa is adequate in the OF. McGehee's bat has to play somewhere next year and RF looks to me to be the most logical spot.
