LaRoche may not be in Atlanta's plan

I think Adam LaRoche would be the perfect fit for this team at 1B, the 29 y/o left handed hitting 1B is a solid defender with a decent power stroke.LaRoche has hit 20 or more homeruns in all but his first season and in three of his six seasons he has hit 25 or more homeruns. For Citi Field his bat would be perfect, a natural gap hitter with 205 doubles in his first six seasons, the last three seasons he's hit 32 or more. But LaRoche was eliminated from the conversation because it was believed Atlanta was willing to go two years and it would take three years to outbid them. Three years for this team with Ike Davis in AAA would be a bad move but if all it took was a two year deal then suddenly LaRoche should be reconsidered. If Davis is ready in 2011 then the Mets have a trade chip in LaRoche or a mentor for their young first baseman. In an article for MLB.com it sounds like the Braves only want to go one year with the 1B and may have already resigned themselves to finding another...
