LaRoche to Red Sox for Prospects

On July 22, the Red Sox acquired Adam LaRoche from the Pirates for minor leaguers Hunter Strickland and Argenis Diaz.

Adam LaRoche is noted for his pop, but is also a notorious second half monster. He's a power hitting corner infielder that the Red Sox could really use.

Diaz is a very good defender with almost no hitting ability. A Cesar Izturis type player.

Strickland is a right handed starter with a 90mph Fastball and 3 average secondary pitches.

Winner: Red Sox

Another AWFUL trade for the Pirates. 'Nuff said.
