If you want to know more about Larish, read the two posts I have linked at the bottom here - I'm not going to recycle information.
What I do take from this move is that the Pirates are seriously considering promoting either Jake Fox or Matt Hague. Larish is primarily a first baseman, and the Pirates have a surplus of those kinds of players. Nick Evans, Hague, Fox, Casey McGehee, Garrett Jones - all upper level first baseman. So what would the Pirates want with Jeff Larish? I'm thinking he's just a guy they can add to the Indianapolis roster for depth right before they promote a Fox/Hague to get some reps.
My guess is that it's Fox. He's been playing some corner outfield and if there's an opening on this big league team it's at corner outfield. It's evident they aren't too high on Alex Presley right now and Nate McLouth has no business seeing the field anymore. Fox has a hot bat and could provide something of what the Pirates need in the middle of that order.
I'm not sure who they're going to send down, but my guess would be Josh Harrison. Then Fox comes up, plays some outfield, plays some first, and even gets a start or two at third base when Pedro Alvarez needs a breather.
The problem is that Fox isn't on the 40-man roster, which might make it Hague the guy that comes up. Either way, that's my prediction. By this time next week either Fox or Hague is promoted and Harrison is sent down.
