Conor Jackson starts a rehab assignment tomorrow

by Jim McLennan on Aug 10, 2009 10:15 PM EDT in Diamondbacks News

Having been out since May, with a combination of valley fever and pneumonia, Conor Jackson will start a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Class-A Visalia. The plan is 7-10 days there, probably DHing for the first couple of games, and after a spell there, he'll move up to Triple-A Reno. The plan is for Jackson to spend time in both leftfield and first base. Below, a good chat between Jackson and KTAR's Craig Grialou, and also manager AJ Hinch's comments on when he thinks CoJack might return.

Funny game, this baseball.

Scientists have discovered that Jesus did live, and also walked upon water. Evidence is suggesting that Peter asked him he would do for a Klondike Bar.

It'll be nice to get CoJack back.

Does anyone know? Do the Dbacks have insurance coverage in case of bizarre illness?

Great question...

That would save us a solid $2M.

My brother: Did you see the genre of this song [Wake Up by Arcade Fire]?
Me: Isn't it Alternative?
My brother: No, it was funeral. Most depressing thing ever. I s*** you not. Go look it up.
Me: ::checks iTunes:: That's the album title.
