Padres in talks with Edwin Jackson

Action Jackson, will pitch in Texas!!!

Red flag should come up when you are talking about Jackson who has bounce around from team team and his a career 500 pitcher at best and teams still overpay for his services.

This guy gets kicked around from team to team on a yearly basis. Hard to keep track. FN doesn't even know which uniform to show him in

David Cone was like that despite being a darned good pitcher.

Cone was a hired gun- teams actually wanted him, I wouldn't put him in the same category as Jackson.

Pitching is hard to come by. The guy is a mediocre pitcher, but you know what you are getting in him.

I don't know, the guy made $11million last season and the story claims he'll make about the same for '13...we'll see.

EJax is too good to be a bottom of the rotation starter, not good enough to be the top. But he can pitch a damn good game (at least for the first half of the season). He's a tricky commodity.

I would love to have him as a No. 3-5 starter.
