Ya i was one of dbacks fans who thought batting Cojack clean up was a bad idea but so far he has proven alot us fans wrong. Hopefully he can keep it up all season be a big plus since our 3 hitter isnt that good of a rbi man.

I agree with you, ChiBulls, although I don't completely discount HR totals. It's still an indicator of a guy that can change the game with one swing, even with the bases empty. But I also think that Jackson is a good option considering his makeup and the rest of the lineup around him. I love Jackson's game and hope he sticks around for a while. The best thing about him is he knows when to swing for a homerun and when to just line it into the gaps. Really smart hitter. Great eye, too. And the complaints about his BA/RISP are unfounded in my mind. He did hit poorly last year, but he also did a lot better in the second half, and the year before he hit over .300 in the same circumstances.

WOW Nater stood up for CoJack! LOL! I know it was just in the context of what that guy was saying but kudos to you... Iffy, yeah I have plenty of opinions and not just on Conor. Think CY should be moved down to the 5 or 6 hole for a while and have Eric lead off. Heres the lineup i would try
Eric
Orlando
Mark
Conor
Justin
CY
Snyder
Drew
Micah (LOL!)
think Micah should play short or 3rd on his off days... LOL! JK...
See Iffy, I can talk about other things, its just that when you slam someone with no basis I just feel that much stronger about my opinion... It's all good and thank god CJ is having a good year or I would look somewhat foolish huh? LOL!

DBacksR4Real: Seriously, have you never paid attention to what I've said?! I've said all along that I didn't like him, he's not the guy I want in the clean-up spot, and frankly wouldn't be disappointed if he wasn't on the team. But I've always acknowledged that he is infact a decent hitter. You make it sound like all I've ever done is trash the guy.

My answer is a clumination of them.
- Split his time with a young prospect that can actually swing a bat with regularity
- While he's in have him bat in the 7 or 8 spot.
- On his days off he can be used as Baxter's Stunt double, he might be better at that than swinging a bat in clutch situations
- Look for the right trade to come along. If we can unload him without giving up too many of our prospects, the D-backs ought to move.
That comment above pretty much says it all doesnt? i realize that some of it was sarcasim but most wasnt... So not seeing anything here that talks about him being a decent hitter. I just love to prove people wrong... Not doing it yet but will at the end of the season... and at the same time I will admit if I was wrong. Hope that doesnt happen though cuz as Co Jack goes, the Dbacks go...

"NoJack is hitting .351 with 3 HR's and 20 RBI's in his first month. Great start!"
"He's got a great eye for the strike zone, but can often times be too patient. He walks a lot which will keep innings alive..."
"CoJack has such a good eye for the strike zone that he forces pitchers to either put him on or pitch to him because he won't swing out of the K zone."
"There is no denying that he has a great eye for the strike zone... "
"He's the kind of guy that is going to keep innings alive in the bottom of the lineup"
"His "doubles power" that low in the lineup also equates to better pitches for the guys in front of him."
Huh... pretty much sums it up, doesn't it DbacksR4Real?

I just love to prove people wrong...
Too bad there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to prove me wrong on this. It has nothing to do with you, you jumped on a bandwagon, and maintained that CoJack was a great prospect while I gave up on him. Hooray for you for watching too much ESPN. If I'm wrong it has entirely everything to do wit NoJack doing better than I thought, and that's a good thing. Think about it, if CoJack has a better season than I think he will, does it mean that you proved me wrong? Not at all, you didn't do jack sh*t except buy into what the media said. Frankly, I don't care if I'm right or wrong in this situation. I just want you to shut up because you're an idiot who has taken one token of information and not discussed anything else. Get a clue, tool.

tough guy huh? yeah you said a couple good things about the guy, and i bet it hurt to say, but you've been bashing him for how long? ever since that 1st stupid a$$ poll you did that you thought was so funny... doesnt have anything to do with me being right, just that you made a total a$$ of yourself through this whole thing. All I did was stick by someone that I believed in and told you and your buddies that were on your side that CJ is gonna be the player that the organization thought he would be and by the way, until the Dbacks got off to this quick start ESPN wasnt saying $hit about them so no I wasnt getting my talking points from sports center (dont they only cover the Yankees, Red Sox & Mets?) or any other show. So screw you and your tough talk. Maybe you should learn a little more about someone before you make an opinion on them. Kinda like i did with you. Gave you the benefit of doubt until you opened your mouth with the tough guy talk... Later Mr Superstar Loser...
