Could Andy LaRoche be the A’s Starter at Thrid?
The answer to that question is yes. The reason is not because Andy LaRoche is good enough to be any everyday starter at third. The reason is because Kevin Kouzmanoff has been terrible.

What Happened To Andy LaRoche?
The most overlooked position player for the Pirates is Andy LaRoche. He desperately needs to have a strong off season.

This player is not this bad. He isn’t.

Andy LaRoche Continues to Lead Pirates; Bucs Win 3-2 over Cubs
Andy LaRoche has been in the lineup for nine of the the Pittsburgh Pirates eleven wins. He has missed seven games mainly due to back trouble. That awful 36-1 drubbing from the Brewers? Yeh, LaRoche wasn’t available.
When the Bucs took two of three from the Brew Crew a week later? LaRoche had seven hits in fifteen at-bats. Maybe we are imagining things, but last...
