I agree about the fire and passion stuff being stupid. It's just a crutch to lean on when defending a bad player.

I'll give hsvj60 credit though usually black athletes don't have "the fire and the passion"

He's thinking "hey a small white guy who looks over matched physically and athletically by all those large dark skinned guys, but look he's out there playing with them. so what if he isn't doing well, he's trying"

what I'm thinking is this kid is a ballplayer regardless of race or size he's a very good talent and will help the Bums out tremendously. This kid has game he's not a Roberto Alomar or anything but this kid can play

Well that's all speculation at this point. Going off of the numbers (which are real and not speculative), Jackson is a sub-par pitcher making too much money. He isn't very good at controlling the things a pitcher has direct control of on the mound (K/BB rate, HR rate, etc), and has given no indication that he is improving in those areas.

how about now.....wait wait.....ok...how about now?
