The move was first reported by Baseball America and then followed up by Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Drafted by the New York...

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… #bbpBox_104189521788272641 a { text-decoration:none; color:#0084B4; }#bbpBox_10418952178827264...

Mike Jacobs gets the dubious distinction of becoming the first North American pro athlete to test positive for the human growth hormone.

Some earth shattering Jays news was revealed today by Troy Renck of the Denver Post on Twitter where, according to a source, Minor League first baseman Mike Jacobs has signed a Minor League deal with the Colorado Rockies. For those who might not recognize Jacobs’ name, he was acquired by the Blue Jays on July 30th, one day after GM Alex Anthopoulos traded first baseman Brett...

Jacobs hit .208 with one homer and two RBIs in 24 at-bats before being designated for assignment Sunday. Jacobs has indicated he would be willing to go to Triple-A Buffalo if playing time exists.

I don't have that big problem with Mike Jacobs being on this team, my issue is more with why Chris Carter isn't on the team. Between Jacobs, Tatis and Cattalanotto someone should have been sacrificed to make room for Carter.Anthony DiComo of mets.com has a great artcile on Jacobs today. After barely making the team and then being given a starting spot when Murphy went down...

Here's the thing, if Mike Jacobs is in the line-up he needs to hit clean-up but that doesn't make him the ideal clean-up hitter.
