Adam LaRoche

Savior?

Well at least we finally have a first baseman and in my eyes he is the missing piece of the puzzle.

Left-handed? Check.
Power hitter? Check.

We need him.

Re: Adam LaRoche

I like LaRoche... but man, I hate giving up Gonzalez to get him. A good pitcher is more valuable than a good position player, IMO.

Re: Adam LaRoche

The Pirates actually have a solid core of pitching...assuming they all stay healthy. For the last 5 years or so, we've been plagued with injury and that's hurt us.

But, boy, did we need a first baseman and a power hitter. We get both in LaRoche.

Re: Adam LaRoche

What a shame...Gonzalez's talent being wasted with the Braves. He would've looked so much better in pinstripes...

Re: Adam LaRoche

I think this was one of the things the Pirates needed. They needed somebody to hit behind Bay. Now they can't pitch around him because they will have to respect LaRoche. they now need to get a veteran pitcher to help the young arms out. They should be a lot better this year.

Cool Re: Adam LaRoche

I think it's a good move. I like LaRoche - I think he has a lot of upside.
