Reports coming in regarding the Whitesox in talks with the Cardinals for Colby Rasmus. Looks like the Whitesox may trade Edwin Jackson and a minor league player in the deal. Matt Thornton's name has also been mentioned in the trade. There is also talk about a possible third team to facilitate the trade. Saturday afternoon LaRussa has announced Jon Jay as his starting center fielder. This looks like a good sign that he will be moved. The Nationals have sent a scout out to be with the Cardinals while they where on the road. Could the Nationals be the third team? We will have to see. I am still not sold on Theriot at short stop. We need a short stop that is better defensively. The Nationals Ian Desmond is just as bad as Theriot. Let me get back to Edwin Jackson, currently Jackson is 6-7 with a 3.97 ERA and a 1.47 Whip. At the age of 27 Edwin has a lot of upside. His pitches include fastball, cutter, change up, and a curve ball. Jackson is a free agent at the end of the year and his agent is Scott Boras. Hard to believe we will sign him at the end of 2011 if we get him. So keep your eyes pealed here at the McBrayer Baseball Blog for more on the story...
