The Boston Red Sox fell out of first place this past week. They made two moves to try and regain the top spot. First they acquired Adam LaRoche from the Pirates for a couple of minor leaguers. The move gives them some more pop off the bench. He should take at bats away from Mark Kotsay. He should also provide some rest for Mike Lowell and his hip. LaRoche hit 32 home runs one year for the Atlanta Braves.
