Since the all-star game he's the best hitter in the current lineup. La Roche is nice, but replacing Nomar with La Roche will not fix what ails this team. This isn't May/June when Nomar's offense was a black hole, he's more then holding his own since July.

If this is just a dead cat bounce and Nomar regresses back to May/June levels then I'd understand the call for La Roche, but the Dodgers have a lot more problems then replacing Nomar.
