PLAYERS: Conor Jackson
TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks

Picimg_mlb_apr_21_19ad
This should have been one of Conor Jackson's best years. He had plate discipline, moderate power and was entering his age 27 season. Now, after an extended bout with valley fever, Jackson's value has tumbled and he doesn't have a guaranteed job next season. He told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that his disappointing season has created uncertainty about the team's offseason plans.If the D'Backs offer Jackson a contract, they can't offer him less than $2.4MM under baseball's arbitration rules because he makes $3.1MM this year. Last offseason, when Jackson was coming off three straight years with an OPS over .800, the club had an easy call. But Jackson has hit poorly since then, so the team could decide to non-tender him.

Deja Vu for the Diamondbacks?

Via Fanster  |  August 27, 2009
While watching the Arizona Diamondbacks’ bullpen give up another 8th inning home run last night, there was a certain unmistakable song stuck in my head. It was “Deja Vu”, Dionne Warwick’s sultry 1979 single that reached number 15 on the pop charts. Why would this seemingly forgettable song pop into my head thrity [...]

Via Venom Strikes  |  August 28, 2009
The road was not too kind to the Arizona Diamondbacks the past 10 days, thanks to the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, and San Francisco Giants.  The only real complete game from both ends of things was last night in San Francisco, where the Dbacks won 11-0, maybe the best all-around game the Dbacks [...]

Understanding Upton: Who's Better, B.J. or Justin?

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 29, 2009
So far this season, Justin Upton has outplayed his brother B.J by leaps and bounds. Why then, you might wonder, even ask a question whose answer seems so obvious? It may not be as simple as you might think. B.J has struggled to hit .240 this season while Justin has hit over .300 and blasted 20 HR, but this could be a career year for Justin and an off-year for B.J. You simply canno...
