Mike Jacobs?

[casem2k2]

I just read on yahoo that he has a sore thumb and hes out until friday. When did this happen?

[yossarian]

Is it time to let him go? He's been great when he plays, but he's only played, like, 2 games in the last 2 and a half weeks and now he's sitting out till friday. What's up with his finger?

He was out for about a week earlier when his hand was hit by a pitch.

The day he came back he went 4 for 4 with a HR, and then 2 for 4 the next day.

He's apparently resting the same thumb.

- He's a big boy who was 54/20/77/3 last year in 469 ABs.
- He's only 26 and he's hitting cleanup behind Hanley/Uggla/Miggy -- he's gonna drive in some runs.
- He's hitting .311 3 10 14 for the season.

Drop him if you must, but I'm predicting a nice year once he gets over this thumb thing.
