Hmmm... this is a tough one. There are no great options here.

Jacobs won't do any favors for your OBP (an anemic .299 last year). I have to say that a healthy Helton is your best bet. If you're concerned about Helton's health, I would go with Kouzmanoff.

Good luck!

What do you need? Jacobs has the best power potential at this point in his career, but the OBP will suffer. Helton would probably net you the best OBP I would think.

i havent made the move yet, went to look and compare helton to jacobs and was quite suprised how hot helton is now, he's been on fire the past week.
He has the obp edge on jacobs but lacks the hr's and slg right now.

im really leaning towards the hot hand right now, though i might pay for it later when helton gets hurt and jacobs has 20 hrs


anyone else have an opinion?
