Mike Jacobs is going to be a monster for the Marlins. 

Jacobs hit his first homerun for Florida last night and I have a really strong feeling there's more where that came from....lots more.  He also has an absolutely beautiful swing and he can take a bad pitch deep as easily as a good one.  He's gonna give NL pithcers fits this year.

I know you have to give up talent to get talent, but I was really bummed to see him go.    The Marlins picked up a 30+ homer/100+ RBI guy in this young buck.
