His name is Andy Larouche. His brother is Adam Larouche. Andy is a failed prospect who couldn't cut it with the Pirates. He recently signed a minor league deal with the A's. Gio Gonzalez may end up being the best of the A's young starting pitchers. Ryan Sweeney is really good when he's between stints on the disabled list. I'm glad that William Lamar Beane III didn't pull the trigger on that deal. I'll be even more happy if Larouche suddenly figures out how to hit, but I'm not banking on it. He's basically Kevin Kouzmanoff without the awesome glove. We already have one Kevin Kouzmanoff, which is probably one too many. Oh well, it's another year of trotting a sub-replacement level 3rd baseman out there.
