Adam LaRoche is the Answer?

When the Braves brought Adam LaRoche back, we were pretty confused as to why (other than his expiring contract).  Well, 20 games in and the answer is pretty clear.  Check out what “Clutch” has been doing so far:

.406 AVG
.500 OBP
.739 SLG
1.239 OPS
7 HR
16 RBI
15 Runs
14 BB
19 Ks

Oh, he has yet to make an error as well.  Hats off to Frank Wren for pulling the trigger on this one.  If LaRoche is available in your fantasy league, scoop him the hell up before he cools off.  “Clutch” is riding a seven game hitting streak, for what it is worth.  The Braves needed some pop from their one bagger, and they certainly seem to have found it pretty inexpensively.
