The best part (for me) is watching people - here and on my Facebook/Twitter feeds - get all worked up about LaMarre. I get great joy out of them trying to compare him to JD Martinez, quote his spring training stats, his "new approach" at the plate, and cite his ".500 batting average," while glossing over his entire career and the fact that he's also struck out 4 times this year. Good times, indeed. But, yes, he is the perfect 25th man - has options and contributes very little on the field so his absence is barely noticed. Could also hold down the fort on defense for a day until Granite could get to town.
