Re: Is Taylor Jacobs Injury Prone?
He's had what can only be considered fluke injuries. The abdominal trauma in his rookie season was so far out there, it reminded me of John Candy's admonition of Steve Martin in "Plains, Trains, & Automobiles" ("Hey you could have killed me by punching me in the stomach like that when I wasn't ready . . . that's how Houdini died ya know.") This toe injury is very similar - how many dislocated toes do you hear about each year?
If Jacobs had recurring issues with joints (insert Randy Moss joke) or a muscle group, then you start to be concerned. Right now, he's just snakebit.
