July 30, 201015 yr http://twitter.com/bigleaguestew/status/19924037790 bigleaguestew RT @TBrownYahoo: Edwin Jackson has been told he's been traded to the White Sox. Flip to DC next?

July 30, 201015 yr And its official. Awful, awful trade. If he gets flipped, I'll be good. But if he pitches for us, I'll be pissed.
July 30, 201015 yr apparently couldn't get Myers and Berkman. Gotta hope they can get Dunn at this point. With Hudson and Holmberg, you figure they could have gotten LaRoche kicked in pretty easily too. Whatever.
July 30, 201015 yr Everyone relax there is more coming judge this trade after the smoke clears. KW is not stupid!!!!
July 30, 201015 yr Apparently Cooper likes Jackson - @cst_sox - Cooper has liked Jackson for awhile - so flipping the pitcher is by no means the end game. Think "Thornton Project II."

Think "Thornton Project II." Nothing quite like a project with 5 years of service and an $8.35M pricetag that costs you your #1 prospect and another of your top pitching prospects.
July 30, 201015 yr But really, it's just flipping a guy who hasn't gotten it done yet in the MLB and a prospect for a guy who has proved he can get it done even though it was last year. I think they're going to keep Jackson. Welcome to the Sox, E-Jax.

Have faith in KW...people need to chill. The deadline is tomorrow, not today. Also, remember that Kenny is the master of over-hyping prospects (see Brandon McCarthy). Our farm system is so weak right now that our #1 pitching prospect is probably a top 10 in other systems. Stay tuned... Edited July 30, 201015 yr by RudyLawRules
July 30, 201015 yr I don't have to hear about any fan professing his/her love for Hudson anymore - what a great trade! Well, hopefully KW has something up his sleeve. Otherwise this trade doesn't make much sense.

I think they're going to keep Jackson. Welcome to the Sox, E-Jax. Same guy who was awful in 2nd half of the season last year. Really, he's like a 3 month wonder.
