Adam LaRoche

2012 Stats: 154 Games, .271 BA, 33 HRs, 100 RBIs & .853 OPS

The Washington Nationals re-signed 1B Adam LaRoche to a two year contract with an option for a third season. LaRoche had a career year in 2012, winning a Gold Glove as well as a Silver Slugger. LaRoche will bat in the middle of a batting order that boasts players like Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth and Bryce Harper. The Nationals made the playoffs last season and there is no reason to think that they won't make it again this upcoming season.

Adam LaRoche

First-Baseman Adam LaRoche signed a 2 year $16 million contract with the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have already signed RF Jayson Werth and LaRoche will replace Adam Dunn at 1st. LaRoche has averaged 23 Home-Runs/Year in his career and is a better defender than Dunn. Look for the Nationals to improve this year and possibly contend in 2012.
