Yes, especially since I can spell LaRoche.
Look, I know LaRoche has hit well since going to ATL, but he would not be hitting that well here. Kotchman is an .800 OPS player with tremendous defensive skills who is locked up for two more seasons at a very affordable rate.
LaRoche would be playing as much as Kotchman is now and he is a FA at the end of the season.
Now, refute my other points.
