Because LaRoche hasn't done anything in the majors that's why. You are just so convinced that because DeWitt had bad numbers in the minors that he shouldn't be playing in the majors.
So what the hell has LaRoche done in the majors? Nothing. In fact DeWitt has been a lot more impressive in his short major league career than LaRoche.
That's probably the reason people are against playing LaRoche.
And you mention, DeWitt having done an "average" job at 3B? .293 avg and solid D is "average" to you? Wow! With the exception of 1 defensive game at third, he's been pretty damn good.
Will DeWitt keep it up? Probably not. But right now, in my opinion, the job is DeWitt's.
