Jacoby goes from an average to below average lead off hitter, to a dangerous #8 hitter.
I like Bosox idea of hitting him in front of Ortiz. And agree Jacoby's OBP is not adequate for a lead off hitter.
It's not all his fault though.. It's not like he's undisciplined, he isn't. But his speed reputation causes pitchers to come after him. Not wanting to give up the free pass. If he is going to get on base, he will have to hit his way on.
