I'm in the camp that if you can get Jackson at 3/45.. you take it. You're getting a durable pitcher with strikeouts in his prime years. 3/48 I wouldn't kill the team for. We have money and we need a top of the rotation starter. I'm not giving that money to Marcum. He's got elbow issues. You get a deal on him for cheaper, its a whole different story. Edit. A pitcher with an ERA around 4.
-
second post of the thread. It was a comment saying "i wouldn't be pissed if they paid this a year for three years". I believe.
-
Person. Not people. Let's not get carried away. You realize if we take his 12M salary last year.. the 16-17 is closer than your 6-7 a year you want to give him right? You should compare Correia stats compared to Jackson.
-
I'm in the camp that if he puts up a 4 ERA with decent strikeouts for a full season, he's by far our best pitcher. Then he's a legit veteran opening day starter as opposed to livan, ponson, pavano, etc.
-
It's fun to have different views.and have a legit debate over a real possibility as an.acquisition the twins COULD make. That being said...he has pitched better as his career has progressed, he's a solid yet not reliant strikeout pitcher, and he's still relatively young and has been durable. May I ask what you don't like about him? Is the disagreement here price tag alone? I would take him and something like 3/36 in a heartbeat. Anything under that I don't think is realistic, while I think you have a little room to overpay before the overpay gets uncomfortable.
-
You're seriously killing the guy for the years when he was 23 pitching for the DEVIL rays? I've watched the guys on your "list" pitch. Jackson is the second best pitcher on that "list". You can have your bargain bin Wolf, Lowe, Garcia, Saunders, Guthrie, Blanton, et al. He hasturned a major corner since his AZ days, but if we can't "debate" stats, advanced stats, personal knowledge, researched knowledge, etc..then...well.. Hey Brock, wait up!! I'm coming!
-
Yep.
-
This isn't even worth debating if that is your approach to this subject.
-
I think you're discounting how much better Jackson has been the past few years. I don't know about you but I would pay the premium on him then the sale prices on Lowe, Wolf, Garcia, etc.
-
we are trying the 4 #5 starters approach
-
Welcome to free agency. And all three would arguably be the best starter on our staff.
-
Just for the record, the Slowey comparison was meant as a positive, not a slight. Dude put up solid numbers in the minors.
-
Uh.. a #4 on a good team? I think your perception is a bit skewed here.
-
Is Slowey a good comp for him, stats in the minors wise? I honestly don't remember specifics from Slowey's minor.league career. Edit. I checked to compare AAA stats and WHIP, BB/9 and K/9 are pretty similar. I'm mobile so I can't really link to it.
-
I'm not sure if its the fact that he is being overlooked so much as it is that we need to see him put things together at the major league level before you can rely on him for the whole year.
-
I'm still baffled when comparing the contracts of Correia, Pelfrey, and Lannan.. it just doesn't... make...sense!
-
I want to see the terms before having much of an opinion.. but relying on numerous guys coming off TJ makes me a bit nervous.
-
I think 16-17 a year is really steep but its more realistic then your 6 and some change a year low ball.
-
3/19? You're crazy. He said 16-17/year. You're underestimating the value of an "average pitcher".
-
There aren't enough Edwin Jackson threads. Reports are that the Padres are in negotiations with him and a three year deal, per MLBTR. Doesn't sound like they are really close to a deal.. but if he gets those years for anything around the 13ish a year he's looking for..let the erupting from everyone commence.
-
It is an interesting point, though I don't see it as a big thing like in basketball where its definitely a much bigger outlier.
-
Sometimes you have to overpay if you want the crown jewels of the free agent crop.
-
On the bright side, the pitching staff cant get that much worse.. werent we second to last in the league in ERA?

Gomez, Guerra, Humb............aw just nevermind. -
Not to sound like a jerk, but could you pay attention at the posted threads we already have? There are about 3 involving Villanueva...
