I think if JJ makes the team, it'll be in the 'pen. He's starting to get bullpen time in Triple A.

there is no room for him even in the pen.
He isn't even on the 40 man roster

He's just someone I have liked for a few years. He played great a few years back but has struggled the past two seasons. He was possibly going to get called up in 2011 after having a good 2010 season but it didn't happen. I know he was put in the bullpen last season but he can still start.
I wasn't saying he was the best or anything, I've just been anxious to see him come up, kind of like how I am anxious for players like Javier Baez and Albert Almora to come up as well.

After a few rough seasons, he has kinda fallen off the map. He is going to have to re earn his chance.

I can understand that, but it isn't going to happen. He really struggled in AAA last year when I watched him and he really is behind Rusin, Raley, and probably Struck, Loux, and Cabrera. I think Jackson is a long shot to make it Chicago given his recent performance, but crazier things have happened.

He's still September call-up possibility, but since he's not on the 40-man roster, that hurts his chances a lot. And prolly a reason he won't get a call-up.

Not unless a few pitchers get traded this season.

And even then I think Vizcaino, Cabrera, Loux, Struck, Rusin and Raley are all ahead of Jackson who is going to struggle to make Iowa's rotation this year if I had to guess.

Yeah I don't think he has the best chance of making the roster, I just had him on the roster that I would like to see and I left him off of what I think the opening day roster will be.

He legitimately sucks though, not even on our Top 30 prospects list this year from the BA Prospect Handbook nor was he even the bonus prospect from the supplement. Plus a 6.57 ERA for Iowa.

Similar to the angst I sometimes hear over Campana not making the team . I like the hustle and the speed but if he's not on the team big whup .

Yeah it's not exactly a tragedy if Campana doesn't make the 40 man. He's not helping the Cubs out much in the larger scheme of things.
BTW, remember Sam Fuld?

We still won't see a call-up. He's gunna have to pitch lights out this season, which is a slim to none chance.

The thing with Sam Fuld...he was probably better at defense and got on base more.

I think he actually had one of them outside the park homers.
