Diamondbacks Batting Woes Solved

By Matt Sussman | Jul 17, 2008 | Filed Under Baseball

tonyclark.jpgTheir big trade acquisition? Tony Clark. He’s slugging just over .300. All right!

Okay, he had a pretty freakin’ awesome 2005 year with a 1.002 OPS and crushing 30 home runs, but then the Diamondbacks found a Conor Jackson tucked away in the glove compartment, and he’s a rather good first baseman, I’d say.

I know, I know. This wasn’t the Diamondbacks’ idea of fixing everything. (Getting Justin Upton a fake ID so he thinks he’s not actually 20 years old is one idea.) But, sheesh. Trading for Tony Clark? Couldn’t they have just cloned Augie Ojeda or lured Travis Lee out of retirement?
