The more I think about the White Sox paying Edwin Jackson $8.3 million next season, the more I begin to dry heave

Markakis would be a huge shock.

Still waiting for that awesome fastball to translate into something more than a league average to slightly below average K/9.

still waiting for farnsworth's awesome fastball to translate into something more than a drunk

"Like Haren, Edwin Jackson's been hurt by AZ defense/bad luck. .321 BABIP. 4.24 SIERA. "

 

 

So not only is he in a hitter's park, but it's safe to say AZ's defense is much worse than Sox.

weren't there rumblings that the bosox could deal ortiz if they fall out of it?

I was also thinking Boston could be a potential seller.

Worth noting...his career BABIP is .309, and that is helped by the .279 he put up in Detroit last season (which helped him to a career year and got Scherzer to detroit). Without that year his career BABIP is probably right around .315.

Arziona's bad at everything.

 

Their infield defense really does suck. Reynolds is a butcher. Kelly Johnson is below average. LaRoche is below average. The only good fielder is Stephen Drew and he's not even that good.

Rival exec still believes #Yankees are in heavy on Dunn. Their "we're out" message was directed at #Nationals: Quit messing around!

That would shock the world if Ortiz changed his Sox.

Joe on 670 now.

I said this Wednesday in the sleeper thread and got laughed at. Just saying if that happens, I called it.

 

Maybe manny?

I'm not really sure what those stats mean, but I hope they translate to: "Edwin Jackson sucks". Cause thats the truth.

I am only half way through reading all these posts but I am pretty sure this is going to be my favorite...

nothing beyond what he's said on twitter

I'm not a b-ball fan so I didn't care at the time but Cowley's tweet has "LeBron to the Bulls"-like disappointment written ALL over it....

That's why I keep thinking that the stuff out there in the twitterverse is 99% B.S. There's no penalty if you start putting names out there and they turn out to be wrong.

OK, I'm going to rip off a poster from the "catch-all" thread since it might be what stalled the Jackson/Hudson deal... Nightengale is reporting KW is going after Brett Myers, maybe he can get Berkman/Myers without Hudson.. sorry Kalapse and Athomeboy!!

Um, not a chance in hell he gets both without giving up Hudson. For those two, I'd gladly get rid of Hudson, Danks2, Morel, and someone else.

If this Jackson-Hudson deal actually goes through, we better still get a bat. I'll be pissed as f***ing hell if Kotsay is still our DH come Sunday.

Markakis? I used to be a big fan, but he has no power whatsoever. I wouldnt blow up the farm for him and Guthrie. Fielder on the other hand....

Yep, if it's just Hudson and another prospect for Jackson, and then nothing else happens...that would be just a horrible deal.
