May 14, 200719 yr JACOBS AILING Mike Jacobs might be placed on the disabled list today. Gonzalez said the Marlins will wait and see how Jacobs' thumb feels, but it's probable he will go on the DL. Jacobs has been nursing a thumb injury he sustained April 20 when a hard-hit grounder bounced off his left thumb. Gonzalez felt confident enough to start Jacobs on Sunday, but Jacobs left the game in the fourth after striking out twice. :wow i'm shocked :whistle
May 14, 200719 yr best part/worst part is that instead of placing him on the DL, we let him play today so now we can't have it retroactive if need be

May 14, 200719 yr maybe Val Pascucci time .257/.344/.540 9hr for Pascucci .274/.357/.655 vs righties perfect platoon guy with Boone
May 14, 200719 yr maybe Val Pascucci time .257/.344/.540 9hr for Pascucci .274/.357/.655 vs righties perfect platoon guy with Boone Makes too much sense. Man this sucks. :banghead
May 14, 200719 yr well if he goes on the DL then it can finish up healing and he'll be ok once he can come off.
May 14, 200719 yr maybe Val Pascucci time .257/.344/.540 9hr for Pascucci .274/.357/.655 vs righties perfect platoon guy with Boone Man this sucks. :banghead I know, is he our only/best option at 1b from the minors? Wood could play 1B but that takes away our PH'er and back up infielder. Who would have thought we would catch the injury bug?
May 14, 200719 yr I mean they could put Hammer at 1b, Gall in LF Gall at 1b, Pascucci at 1b call Reed back up, put him in CF, Hammer at 1b, someone in LF call Hermansen up, put him in LF, Hammer at 1b I guess they could call up Grant Psomas but that might be pushing it
May 14, 200719 yr Author being that our 40 man is full, i'm guessing garcia would be transfered to the 60-day if reed/ andino are not called up. whoever gets called up probably won't be around long if hermida returns soon.
May 14, 200719 yr I mean they could put Hammer at 1b, Gall in LF Gall at 1b, Pascucci at 1b call Reed back up, put him in CF, Hammer at 1b, someone in LF call Hermansen up, put him in LF, Hammer at 1b I guess they could call up Grant Psomas but that might be pushing it Has Hammer ever played 1b before? We dont need another disaster.

We dont need another disaster. He plays there in the spring a lot...and to my knowledge, he takes ground-balls there still.
May 14, 200719 yr I'd like to see Jason Wood get some ABs if nothing else. He's been doing nothing but pinch hitting and I have a bad feeling that he is going to get sent down once the Dl cycles come full circle...if they ever do. But we know he can swing the bat and he deserves a shot to get some consistent ABs. But Jacobs injury makes the Stokes trade even dumber, coupled with the struggles of Gaby Sanchez, who most assumed was having a path cleared for him with this trade.
May 14, 200719 yr I mean they could put Hammer at 1b, Gall in LF Gall at 1b, Pascucci at 1b call Reed back up, put him in CF, Hammer at 1b, someone in LF call Hermansen up, put him in LF, Hammer at 1b I guess they could call up Grant Psomas but that might be pushing it Boone did well earlier in relief of Jacobs. Him and Wood would probably split time in his absence and Reed would likely be called back up.
May 14, 200719 yr Boone is killing right handed pitching (.346). He's not going to platoon with anyone. He will be the everyday 1B. If we did go with the Hammer/Gall thing that Ramp suggested, Gall would be the 1B. That's his natural position. He moved to the OF because 1B was a little bit blocked in the Cardinals organization. In all reality, Hermida is going to get Jacobs roster spot. If we put him on the DL before we're ready to call up Jeremy, whoever comes up probably won't be here long. Gall will be the backup 1B.
May 14, 200719 yr We should call up Jai Miller for the fun of it. We just got swept by the nationals, let's have fun. Both Jai and Kim could use Jon Digital's circus music when they come to bat/pitch while the jumbotron plays the clip of Jon Voight yelling "when did the circus come to town" from Varsity Blues. Or maybe we can somehow coax Nigel Wilson out of retirement. Now that would be sweet.

May 14, 200719 yr Here is something from the Sun-Sent. I have a feeling Jake is going on the DL. DL FOR JACOBS? First baseman Mike Jacobs started for the first time in six games Sunday, but he was forced to leave after his bat flew out of his hands on a fourth-inning strikeout. His right thumb will be re-evaluated and the disabled list is a possibility. "I didn't want to go on the disabled list, but I might have to do it," Jacobs said. "I don't have enough strength in my lower hand with the protective shield that I'm using to
May 14, 200719 yr Let's just DL the entire roster so they'll be ready for 2008. At the current pace, that's bound to happen before the All-Star break. :|
