Wood was lucky to get people out, while Jackson was unlucky because he couldn't.
Damn billy goats!

It doesn't matter how Edwin Jackson pitched this year or last year, fans were going to find a reason to complain regardless and fans would have said "he was overpaid" no matter what. He could have a 2.00 ERA and people would still say he is a 4 or 5. Also, I believe at the time Jackson was signed he was also the best pitcher available because Anibal Sanchez signed with the Tigers (I think the Cubs offered Sanchez more money than the Tigers???)
Jackson was already picked as the scapegoat from the moment the Cubs signed him.
Yeah he has struggled and always seems to have that one bad inning but I don't get how people can talk about him like he has been a bum his whole career. He was an all star a few years back.
I hope he picks it up.

Jackson has had 2 bad years consecutively and he's the anti-christ but because Wood had 1 really good year in his last 4, he's a lock for the rotation. That makes no sense.

You have to look at why he is the worst starter. It's not that he is the worst pitcher, it's that he has had the worst luck.
If you think that this Edwin Jackson will continue to show up, you're being ignorant. He has the highest LD% of his career and the highest BABIP. They just aren't sustainable.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.
He has been awful, and you say fans would have complained even if he had been great. Why? What makes you say that?
this is absolute nonsense.

I don't. I just don't think he's worth trading to get nothing in return.

He'll suck less but still be in contention as the worst pitcher of 2014. Thats a fair and honest assesment.

Why does this fucking Valbuena own a glove?
He has no business on the field.
If he's a hitter, trade his sorry ass to the AL.
He absolutely KILLS the Cubs in the field.

As much as I wish I could read minds, I can't. Care to back yourself with some facts or are you just going to derail the thread?

My favorite teams
Sometimes trades are addition by subtraction. This would be one of those times.

I suppose that's true lol. I am fine with Jackson being on this team though in that it almost guarantees us a loss. Let's go #1 pick!

I guess CO has missed Edwin Jackson's ENTIRE career.
The dude is a fucking bum. Get with reality.
