BIG BUCKS
He's only been with the big club for 4 games, but I'm already loving the Bucky Jacobsen Era in Seattle.
Once David gets back from Oregon, we'll definitely add the Bucky Backers site to the sidebar. (David runs the technical part of this site, i.e. links)
There aren't a whole lot of positive things to be taken from a disasterous season. But if Bucky keeps this up for the rest of the 2004 season, then that's definitely a positive. It's more than likely that Edgar will hang it up after this season, so the Mariners need to figure out who will be the heir apparent at DH. Instead of spending millions of dollars on a DH-type player in the free agent market, the M's might as well let Bucky handle the DH role, provided that he keeps doing what he's doing.
One thing's for sure, Mariner fans are actually excited about a HITTING PROSPECT! Hell, it's not just Bucky, but Justin Leone as well.
No, Willie Bloomquist doesn't count. Too bad, so sad.
