On the topic of us acquiring a power lefty bat, it was reported yesterday that 1B Mike Jacobs left the team (Marlins) for personal reasons, I don't know if this helps us or not? I'd like to think somewhere there is a power lefty bat that is unhappy with his team or the team is unhappy with him, and we can acquire that which was previously thought to be unattainable. I don’t want to make light of his reasons, so I’ll just say: I wish him all the best, I hope everything is OK with him, his family, etc., once he does want to come back to play again, I’d love to help facilitate him and have him in Pittsburgh!
