Trying to track things down.

LaRoche now gets out of the hell that is called Pittsburgh and comes to a real baseball market. Twitter: @Jonathan_Singer/@Soxprospects

Given his better second half tendencies, if gets some at bats and produces I would take a typical sox 3rd round pick over whatever we likely gave up (speculating not much...heard Castillo as a possibility).

Posts: 14190 07/22/09 12:54 PM Veteran Member Podcast Panelist	I like Adam Laroche...a lot. He's a very good hitter, underrated actually. He has always been a second half player, is an immediate upgrade this season, is not weighed down by any type of long-term contract, and is a possible type-B FA this off-season. He should immediately be put into a platoon with Lowell. Good move.

Veteran Member Posts: 1456 07/22/09 12:58 PM Moderator	Its an underwhelming addition, but as long as he only hits against righties, he should help. Adam LaRoche Against RHP: .257/.360/.473/.832 Against LHP: .226/.255/.377/.632 Mike Lowell Against RHP: .286/.316/.442/.758 Against LHP: .296/.360/.543/.903 If/when Lowell is healthy, I guess we'll see Youk at 3B with LaRoche at 1st against righties, and Lowell and 3B and Youk at 1st against lefties. I'm hearing Hudson wants to become a hitter - his exact quote: "Baby-Hühner graben die lange Kugel"

I'll take him in a platoon role with a career .275/.347/.500 line against RHP and be okay with it, but this is hardly a good enough solution or good enough upgrade in my opinion. aminahyaquin: Alou is a 37 year old 7 time MVP with a .347 lifetime batting average and a world of hustle. he can golden glove field in his sleep. tGG: Alou is actually 42, has never won an MVP, has a .303 lifetime batting average, and is mediocre at best in the field. joshv02: But, other than that, you're wrong.
