LaRoche finalizes deal with D-Backs: First baseman Adam LaRoche and the Diamondbacks have finalized a one-year contract. He gets $4.5 million this year, and the deal includes a $7.5 million mutual option for 2011 with a $1.5 million buyout. LaRoche receives the buyout if either side declines, and if he gets traded the option price would increase to $9.5 million. "He really helps our lineup," GM Josh Byrnes said. "He's really a consistent, middle of the order threat." LaRoche said that, given the weakness of the free agent market this season, he chose to go somewhere he could sign a one-year deal rather than sign "a mediocre two-year contract." He had been close to a two-year deal with the Giants reportedly worth $14 million.

Fantasy Analysis
The 30-year-old hit .277 for Atlanta, Boston and Pittsburgh last season with 25 homers and 83 RBI. He has a .274 career average in six seasons. His best season was 2006, when he hit .285 with 32 home runs and 90 RBI, all career highs. His numbers are far better in the second half of the season than the first, so that is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a buy-low candidate in-season. Consider him a late-round option in mixed leagues because of his deep position and his streaky nature.
