Andy LaRoche to the Pirates

This deal really doesn't make sense to me for the Dodgers or the Pirates. The Dodgers have a glut of outfielders and they sent their #2 prospect (LaRoche) to the Pirates. I know the Dodgers have picked up Casey Blake but it is obvious that GM Ned Collotti is playing this year to keep his job. The Pirates selected 3B Pedro Alveraz with the #2 pick in the this season's draft and some scouts think he is major league ready (He spent 4 years at Vandy). I guess you can't count on prospects and the more the merrier but I thought the Pirates could have filled another hole in this deal. LaRoche is the winner in this 3 way deal because he will play a lot this season and he was blocked by Blake in LA. No other Prospect of note were moved but the waiver wire deals could have some guys switching cities. Stay tuned
