Jackson 'pretty much 100 percent'

He's back from the instructional league in Tucson:
"Dude, I feel great. Health-wise, I feel great. I felt pretty much 100 percent... I didn't have any expectations about hits or how far I was hitting balls. But for me it was to go out there and show I can play nine innings on back-to-back-to-back days."

Farm director Mike Berger agreed: "I would have never known he was coming off valley fever... I think he was anxious at first, trying to find his rhythm. But there's no doubt it's in there. The bat speed is in there."

So,

does this mean we tender him? (I hope)

Great news

Conner may not be flashy, but I think we sorely missed him this year. This should make some interesting competition at 1st and LF next season.

He can

play 3B too, but I think we’ve got that locked down….

damn those Phillies

and their plucky mascot and their evil batting ways.

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

Nacho boy is back!

Great, his illness was just one of the things that pretty much destroyed the Diamondbacks this year. The kid can play just about anywhere so he should be around for a while, unless management decides to trade him for a couple of player with half his ability.

Can't play "anywhere".

He only plays corner positions, but I don’t think Conor is trade bait. Not this year, anyway. Josh Byrnes doesn’t like to sell low. (Carlos Quentin being the exception)
