I don't think 93 ABs is enough to judge anybody. That's why I'm hesitant to call DeWitt "good" after just 75 of them.

You are so quick to discount minor league numbers as if they are meaningless. You know what, find me a player who had a long successful major league career while putting up mediocre numbers in the minor leagues. Find me a few guys that have done that and I'll believe your theory that minor league umbers are meaningless.
Like I said, DeWitt has done an admirable job of filling in, but numbers and logic say that he won't sustain that. I don't know why its so out of the question to give LaRoche a legitimate chance at the job. Maybe without having a ton of pressure and expectation laid on him he can succeed, kinda like DeWitt has.
