Why so down on Conor?

Actually, Ryan Howard, Dmitri Young and Prince Fielder are worse at the moment, as are Josh Phelps, Mike Sweeney, Shea Hillenbrand and Mike Lamb.

I really hope you're not basing this on fielding percentage (CoJack is a better defensive 1B than Darin Erstad according to that) or any of the other archaic metrics certain websites use to determine defensive prowess. Conor is an atrocious defensive player, anyone with two eyes can see that.

I'm merely saying he is not THE WORST 1st baseman in baseball, or in the history of baseball -- to say that is absurd. That's all.

Is that reassuring? Let's hear it for Conor Jackson. He "isn't the worst".

Actually he is...fielding percentages don't mean a whole lot. Orlando Hudson is a much better fielder than many of those that have a better percentage than him. Conor's level of sucktitude in the field is unparallel. His mental errors that don't get counted on the score sheet and lack of any range at all far outweigh the drops, boots and retardedness that gets tallied by stats.inc.

At least you are extremely consistent in your opinions
