Comparing 14 AB’s to guys pushing 200 AB’s is a touch misleading, no? - Jacoby’s Dad

I really would hate for him to transfer but if all he will ever be here is a pinch run specialist, I hope he balls out somewhere.

The amount of Ab is not really in his or any other player’s total control, and if he’s on the list he’s on the list, he didn’t put himself there. At this point any recognition is going to be a positive of some kind for him moving forward in whatever direction he ends up leaving here to.
That being said, I am a very good friend of at least two coaches, that have coached Jacoby in the past that are quite dumbfounded for the last three years . Now I know players don’t get on here ,or do they ; but it is a very sore point in mentioning his dad because he hasn’t seen his dad since he was one year old.
At the end, I want everyone to get the recognition they truly deserve whether it be him or Renzo my other, “pulling for him”player

Sure it's not ultimately in the player's control, but if he's not impressing the coaches in practice during the season, than it's partly on the player. I'm not saying one way or the other that Jacoby deserves more playing time than anyone else, I'm just saying using a very small sample size doesn't make your case. If that were true, then Jason Torres (.556/2.000) would be starting over Yoyo now.
