As Mets fans, for one reason or another, we seem to be VERY interested in what ex-Mets are doing. We mostly do that in order to validate to ourselves good trades/releases, or to stoke the fire and get pissed about about a bad trade/release. So, here’s something interesting to not be pissed about…

Mike Jacobs was crushing the ball in triple-A for the Rockies putting up a .298/.376/.534 slash line while hitting 23 homers, driving in 97 runs and putting up a .910 OPS. Any Mets fan that watched Jacobs in his stays in New York knew two things, the guy had power and hands of stone in the field. Looks like we really only knew one thing for sure, his fielding was terrible.
Although we don’t know exactly how long Jacobs has had HGH in his system, I don’t think it matters. I’m just happy he’s not still with the team, especially considering this. In fact he’s apparently gained some interesting recognition for this…

Truthfully, it doesn’t matter what or when he did it, just that he did and I give credit to the Rockies organization for deciding not to have that within their organization. They have released Mike Jacobs.

Good for the Rockies. I think the best way to solve the problem of cheating in baseball is for more teams to step up and say, we won’t allow it. And it’s never too late to start…
