I am fine with this trade. Moore has already shown a knack for putting together a fine relief corps, so Nunez is not great loss. The logjam at first base is really only in potential. What guys like Billy Butler, Kila Ka’aihue and Ryan Shealy “might” do.
Jacobs will not walk a lot, but he can hit the long ball. He’s proven that. If Butler et al can prove they have the capabilities, then I am certain Moore will find a place for them.
In the meantime, I only hope a youngster like Butler is given time to prove he can do it ahead of somebody like Ross Gload, who has proven he can’t.
