So, the local media has been making a big deal about how this is going to be Conor Jackson's breakout season due to the fact that Tony Clark is gone. See example here:

But, seriously......WTF ARE THESE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT?!?! Have they totally forgotten that we have a player named Chad fucking Tracy that is slated to come off the DL sometime after the season starts? Have they also forgotten that Tracy is expected to play 1st and 3rd base? Have they also forgotten that BoMel loves Tracy and that he'll probably take away as much, if not more, playing time from Jackson as Clark did?
For the record, I do believe Conor is going to have a good year. Maybe even his breakout year. But, if Tracy comes back and is playing well...or Conor isn't playing well, expect him to take a fair amount of playing time away from Conor which will negate the fact that Clark is gone.
Basically what I'm getting at is that Nick Piecoro and other local media are all retarded and blowing this whole breakout year thing because Clark is gone way out of proportion.
