A lot riding on Clemens at 1B

Zach Levine - the hardest working man for the Chronicle - has a profile on Koby Clemens, who has officially moved to first base.

Koby:
“It's definitely going to be a big year for me to see how I do at that level where a lot of big-time prospect players are. If I have a good year, anything can happen. But I'm not going to put any more pressure than I need to.”

Let's take a look at minor-league first basemen from 2009:
