6. Adam LaRoche

2013 Stats: .237/.332/.403 HR  20 R 70  RBIs 62 SB 4

Adam LaRoche is known for being an extremely inconsistent player and last year, he was consistently bad. He struggled with weight loss all year due to medicine he was taking. This really limited his power which was key to his success in years past.

However, lets not forget that just two years ago, LaRoche almost single-handedly carried the Nationals’ offense for two months. LaRoche should see plenty of pitches in the sixth hole, considering Ramos is behind him.
