He's been a ~2.5 WAR player 3 out of the last 6 seasons. He'll put up a .260/.335/.470 slash with 24-26 HRs and 85-90 RBIs. And he will regress from there.
We have a lot of first base options at this point. We don't need LaRoche
Maybe. He will eventually, of course, but not necessarily over the next couple. I think we'll miss him more than we realize if he doesn't come back. He's the best option at 1B for this team and frankly, I don't think it's that close of a competition.
