Why? This guy is nothing special.

I LIKE IT!! as a sox fan..... wasn't happy to see him leave TB although Joyce has potential here.

I heard they are just gonna flip him for Adam Dunn

VIEJODINOSAUR · Jul 30, 2010

I doubt it since the Sox got rid of Hudson, their rookie lefthander....

Is that the 13 games over.500 and 1 st place woes? Kenny williams has been known to take shots on high picks that havent panned out. Floyd and danks he git for nothing. Dont put it past don cooper to tap into jacksons ton of talent.

Right on ! A lot of clubs wish they had those type of woes ! My 80/1 shot just looks a little bit better IMHO !

woes as in trying to find a solid 4th and 5th starter for this team. You and I both know freddy garcia is starting to falter, and edwin is not going to stop the bleeding.

Jackson was 13-9 last year with a 3.62 era with Detroit and He is only 26 years old. Last year He had 70 walks but 161 Strikeouts. He has potential to be a decent number 4 or 5 starter and sometimes all these young pitchers need is a change of scenery. We aren't passing grades here on a number 1 or 2 starter.

I bought it for Blue Edwards on June 26 and bought some for myself. The White Sox had just won 11 straight games and the M here in Las Vegas had them at 80/1. I can almost always get the best futures odds here in Vegas verses any of the offshore books. You just have to know which
Casinos to look for them. Harrah's and MGM suck as does Stations and Coast !

as much as i would like to see dunn on the south side i think i would rather keep jackson not have to give up anything else and see what cooper can do with him. jackson has excellent stuff i think a few weeks with cooper and he could be a stud.

Kermit, besides the M what other choices are left?

I got 34-1 on em. I barely follow baseball anymore but I'm liking this pick! Hopefully they can get Dunn, bats seem to be what they need.

Don't see what is so great here. Guy has a 1.50 WHIP

The best futures here in Vegas comes from the M, Venetian, Wynn, Cal Neva,The Las Vegas Hilton and sometimes Treasure Island. I used to sometimes get decent futures at the Palms but the Palms is no longer a independent Book as now the Palms Sportsbook's is actually the Southpoint lines. I used to find some great futures at the Plaza downtown but it's a Lucky's Sportsbooks now and most of their futures suck.
