Problem is that Smoak is putting up better numbers than LaRoche.
That maybe the case right now, but imagine if LaRoche had little more protection behind him rather than Avi or whomever we had hitting behind him he might get to better pitch selection, hence better protection. Batting in that line of Blue Jays I think anyone would improve their production.
