Tony Clark gets extension

D-Backs ink first baseman to two more seasons

 

Conor Jackson anyone?

He's a better prospect than Brian Anderson is, and he could probably be had for a straight up trade.

2003 (Draft year)      21  A 257 .319/.410/.533 36  41

Just for comparison's sake, here are Anderson's numbers

                    22    AA 185 .270/.346/.416 19  30

2005                23 AAA 395 .291/.359/.473 42 104

Forget Jackson, they'll trade Chad Tracy before Conor Jackson. And he's a perfect target as either a 1B, 3B and any OF spot. I would trade Anderson in a deal for Jackson though, but Arizona wants good young pitching not more good position prospects, they've got plenty of those already.

One thing I just want to quickly state and thats how Anderson is a superior defensive player. Offensively though, I tend to agree with you on Connor, although I also think Anderson will bve a very solid offensive player. The real nicde thing about Connor are his walk totals.

Quick fact about Jackson, his first name is spelled with only one n. So it's Conor Jackson. :D

HAHAHAHAHA

 

I have to have bad hearing, they couldn't have just called Bob Wickman a Cy Young candidate on SC, could they? Nah there's no way they would say something that f***ing stupid.

 

Garland, Wickman, Rivera...nah I had to have heard that wrong.

 

Bob Wickman? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No it seriously cannot be, my grandma knows that Bob Wickman is not a Cy Young contender. WOW. He has to be eating peanut butter and crack sandwiches. That's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Who are the AL Cy Young candidates?  Halladay, Garland, Buehrle?  I'm talking non-closers...

I'd say Roy (if he comes back and does anything), Garland, Buehrle, Rogers, Colon? I dunno you could honestly say Freddy Garcia is a top 10 Cy Young candidate.

“People in all facets of life are looking for an edge. In business or in sports, people look for ways to get ahead. There will be temptations that are in that gray area and some people will go for them.”

-Jorge Piedra, who was caught using steroids earlier this year, speaking the truth unlike Mr. Raffy….

 

The guy may be a steroid user but that statement right there is going to garnish him a little more respect. I know I respect him more than Raffy and the others. Atleast this guy had the balls to come out and admit what he did.

Did anyone just see how the A's/Angels game just ended?

 

It was the bottom of the ninth, with runners on second and third, with two outs. 4-4. Rodriguez threw a backdoor slider, 0-0, and it was called a ball. Rodriguez clearly wasn't happy with the call. Anyways -- Molina throws back to the pitcher, Rodriguez drops it, Kendall comes home and scores.

 

The A's are in first.

Nice pitcher's duel in Oakland. Santana vs Haren. Currently 1-0 in the top of the 9th with both pitchers still in, not sure if Santana or Nathan gets the 9th

 

EDIT: Santana out to pitch the 9th. Looking for the CG Shutout, starts the inning with 89 pitches, retiring 19 in a row

 

Double EDIT: 2 quick outs for Santana, and now the A's are making it interesting. Kotsay with a double (2nd man to reach 2nd base on the night, furthest an A hitter has reached). Crosby walks. Chavez up. Nathan is warming.

 

Final Update: Chavez flies out, Ford and Stewart almost bumped into each other for it, but it was caught. Twins win 1-0, Haren a tough luck loser.

Here's something I didn't expect...Edgar Renteria, the guy the BoSox paid $40 million because of his defense with the cards last year, is leading all major league players in errors this year. He also has the 2nd worst fielding percentage as an SS in the majors too, so it's not just because he's gotten a lot of attempts.

 

Man, that strikes me as a huge defensive dropoff.
