First Base: Conor Jackson - 1.49

That Greg Colbrunn FA signing by the Mariners (at Bob Melvin’s insistence) just keeps paying dividends, doesn’t it? Think the Mariners could use a left-handed slugging 1B about now??

Something strange is going on in Atlanta. The Braves have players rankes #1, 2, and 3 in “un-clutchiness.” Francoeur, McCann, and Chipper are a combined -2.86 clutch wins. Yunel Escobar is #7 in the same category, giving the braves 4 of the bottom 7 in clutch. Weird.

It’d be funny to see the opposite, or bottom, players in each of these areas.
