Valley Fever Redux: How Dangerous is This Fungus?
We’ve heard a lot about Valley Fever this year. Last week, Bob Ucker’s son passed away due to complications associated with the disease. And back in March, when doctors suspected that Ike Davis was suffering from symptoms of Valley Fever and some worried that Mike Trout might have fallen ill as well, Wendy Thurm asked a timely question: “Should MLB Be Worried About Valley Fever...

The Chicago White Sox have signed Conor Jackson to a minor league deal, Mark Gonzales of The Chicago Tribute reports. Jackson had signed a minor league deal with the Rangers earlier this offseason where he hit .091 in 33 at-bats (3 hits) while striking out 5 times this Spring.
Last season, Jackson started the season off with the A's before he was traded to the Red Sox at the...
Who's No. 1? Bloomquist will get the first shot
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Some in the new-math community preach on-base percentage uber alles at the top of the order. Remember, Conor Jackson was considered the Diamondbacks' best option in that spot a few years ago because of his high on-base percentage.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson studies the numbers as much as anyone, but he remains in large part an old-school manager on the leadoff...
Looking at Conor Jackson
A reunion with Wally Backman might be just what Conor Jackson’s career needs. Worth a shot.
— Gotham Baseball (@GothamBaseball) March 26, 2012
Interesting point brought up by Gotham Baseball.
Jackson was released by the Texas Rangers this week. Although they needed a right handed hitting outfielder, Jackson struggled with the bat going 3 for 33 in Cactus League action. Ron...

Valley Fever: Will Ike Davis Miss Another Season?
I knew when the Mets sent Ike Davis to New York to get checked out, that something was up. The Mets are never truthful with this stuff and I don’t know if it’s their fault or the crappy medical care they had.
Davis is being treated as if he has Valley Fever. Apparently it’s not a severe case like Conor Jackson had when he missed almost all of 2009 from it. Valley Fever in extreme...
A look at Jackson an extreme case of Valley Fever
Conor Jackson was a 1st round pick in 2003, he torn up the minors hitting .354/ .457 OBP / .553 and 1.110 OPS in AAA the year before (2005) he went to the majors and never hit below .301 at any level of the minors on his way up. From 2006-2008 he hit .290/. 370 OBP/ .450 Slg and .820 OPS. But since 2009 he went from being on the cusp of being the star in Arizona to a spare part...

Some Good Baseball Reading from ESPN The Magazine
Just read two interesting baseball articles from the latest ESPN the Magazine (1/9/2012 issue; Cam Newton cover), neither of which are about the Dodgers outright, but involve Dodgers players (past and present), and even ownership if you squint your eyes.
The first was a great piece by Peter Keating ("Hall of Justice") in which Keating introduces an upgraded measurement...
Overture: Ortiz Offered Arbitration
Pete Abraham calls the offer a "significant overture."Ortiz has until Dec. 7 to accept or decline. If he accepts, he would be Red Sox property for 2012.

Drew, Conor Jackson, and Jason Varitek were not offered arbitration...
