[IBL] LaRoche -- Also Duda/Napoli

[Nelson Lu]

With the Mets dealing Ike Davis and keeping Lucas Duda, it looks like Duda is now going to be the first baseman and won’t return to the outfield.

With that being the case, I have three players who look like regular 1Bs for next year.  I’d like to, ideally, deal Adam LaRoche, who is off to an excellent start (.298/.412/.491).  Obviously, he’s very unlikely to keep that up, but he does turn in solid performances.  However, depending on the structure of the deal, I’d also be willing to deal Duda or Mike Napoli instead.

I’d ideally like to get a better defensive regular outfielder (either LF or CF) who still can hit for this year, or a CF or RF for next year.  Right now, it looks like Choo is settled into LF in TEX with no sign of playing any CF or RF at all, and until Hamilton got hurt, he appeared to be playing all LF as well (which I’d expect him to upon return as well), so CF/RF is where I’m looking for.

If you are interested, let me know.  I have no urgent need to deal any of the three at the moment, but I’d like to make a deal before I have to, as is my usual modus operandi.
