June 23, 200719 yr He actually looked pretty adequate at first base until he got injured (in comparison to last year). And that .845 OPS he put up really sucked. :whistle Jacobs is much better than people give him credit for. If he can ever stay healthy, he has the tools to be a better-than-average starter. Edit: You know it's really terrible that we can't find a place for Boone's bat once Jacobs comes back. That .390 OBP would look fantastic in the 2 hole. My ideal lineup positions notwithstanding: 1. Hanley 2. Boone 3. Cabrera 4. Jacobs 5. Uggla 6. Willingham 7. Hermida 8. Amezaga/Caroll That is so damn sexy! :notworthy
June 23, 200719 yr Another LH bat to the lineup will be nice.. very glad he is back. I just hope it means they move Hanley back to the leadoff spot. Excited to see the lineups today. :pray
June 23, 200719 yr now we just need johnson to pitch a good game and hanley at leadoff with jake back for the team to go ona tear and cut that 4.5 games back and take the devision (for now atleast) lol
June 23, 200719 yr Jacobs will be an improvement at first base. He can handle bad throws from Hanley and Miggy much better than Boone. We're talking about Mike Jacobs right? Jacobs will be an improvement at first base. He can handle bad throws from Hanley and Miggy much better than Boone. Jacobs is a terrible defender. The only upside to him is his power at the plate. Other than that, he's pretty empty. Some of you have not been watching closely. There have been many one hop throws from Miggy and Hanley that Boone has not been able to handle well. Those, correctly, go on the books as throwing errors, but a decent first baseman could have picked most of those throws. Jacobs is no D. Lee, but his defense has improved significantly from last year. We all know that Boone has not played 1st before and over all I have been very satisfied with his play as Jacobs' replacement, but I do believe we will improve DEFENSIVELY with Jacobs.
June 24, 200719 yr I've been watching pretty closely lol Apparently, not closely enough. lol ok... is that the best response you have? to say our D will get better with Jake out there is laughable (no matter how improved he is)

June 24, 200719 yr Did you see what I saw? (Hint:Boone's defensive error in the fourth inning) You knew I was going to say something. I didn't want to disappoint you.
