I agree with you but I know there would be guys on here complaining about the lack of power in the line up lol

LaRoche playing against a lefty IS a lack of power in the lineup. And a lack of OBP, and everything else.

Was LaRoche every platooned in his life?

Doubtful, but he's also not the same hitter he was his whole life. In his career against lefties he's put up a .719 OPS, but the last 2 years that has dropped to .566 and .620.

 

He didn't need to be platooned against lefties until he got to his 33-34 year old seasons. It happens. That should have been plan A when he was signed - treat him as a platoon player and fill in the bench with a few versatile righties so that we can do so. Hell, our GM even did his job in that regard.
