The Conor Jackson Experiment is Over
Look, A’s Organization, we all know what Conor Jackson is and he is not the type of player that is going to help the Oakland A’s win ball games. He had a nice hot streak and we all crossed our fingers but the guy is clearly coming back to earth. So please stop playing him.
In his last 30 at bats, Jackson, has a total of 5 hits. I understand that he may be a better choice...

A’s Trade Conor Jackson – My Heart Weeps… Wait, Who’s Conor Jackson?
When I heard the news that the Oakland Athletics traded outfielder Conor Jackson to the Boston Redsox for minor league reliever, Jason Rice, I almost cared. But in the end, the news was almost as irrelevant as when the A’s acquired Jackson in the first place from Arizona for Sam Demel.
When he wasn’t injured, he was anything but an impact bat. He was barely a stopgap and given...

Yesterday evening the Oakland A’s finally cut ties with Conor Jackson. The A’s traded him to the Boston Red Sox for pitching prospect Jason Rice and cash. Let’s be honest does it matter what the A’s got for him? Jackson is gone and that is all that matters. I know the A’s had high hopes when they got him from the Diamondbacks but unfortunately it did not work out.

Brandon Allen may not be the answer for the Oakland A’s empty spot at first but he is sure a much better solution than Conor Jackson. Jackson’s game is not going to get any better than it is, Allen on the other hand can only get better.
I enjoyed watching Brandon Allen play yesterday against the Rangers and this is coming from a guy, who was not happy with the Brad Ziegler trade...
