http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/322 Recent articles about Conor Jackson en-us The D-Backs and Blue Jays are discussing a trade in which the Jays would receive C Chris Snyder while the D-Backs would obtain 1B Lyle Overbay.If the trade goes through the Jays would have their catcher and would no longer be looking at Rod Barajas. The Mets have supposedly have targeted Rod Barajas as their primary target for their vacant position. Barajas hit 21 HRs last year, which I'm sure is appealing to a power starved team and he won't cost too much. Snyder is only 28 y/o and c...

It would mean bringing in another injury risk player but in the Mets financial situation, these might be the only types of moves the Mets can make and at least age isn't a factor.Conor Jackson was one of the rising stars in the league; a good defender at 1B/LF, solid batting average, decent power and on OPS over .800 but at age 27 y/o instead buil...
