Sickels on Edwin Jackson
http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/downonthefarm/1598459.html
" There are no holes in Jackson's stat line. His K/BB, K/IP, and H/IP
ratios are all significantly above league average this year. Of note
is the increase in his strikeout rate between last year and this
season, especially impressive since the improvement has come at a
higher level against older competition. Jackson has given up just 11
homers in his professional career, another good sign. Lefties have hit
him at just a .188 clip this year, another positive marker."
This is why Jackson was one of the ones every team was asking for in
trade.
