Edwin.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Edwin Jackson reflects in the dugout after giving up three runs to the New York Mets in the third inning at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on September 20, 2011. UPI/Bill Greenblatt

 

Wow. Didn't see that one coming: Nationals sign Edwin Jackson to 1-year deal. So, was this Scott Boras's way of saying sorry and patching things up with Ted Lerner for pissing him off during the Prince Fielder negotiations?

"We saw an opportunity here to acquire a young, hard-throwing, power-pitching, innings-eating-type of starting pitcher, and we thought it was a good value at a good term. You can never have enough good, quality starting pitching, and we felt it was a good enough value to make him a National."

Well, a rotation of: 1. Stras 2. Gio; 3. Zimmermann; 4. Jackson; 5/6 Wang? Detwiler? Lannan? That's a damn fine rotation.

Bring on the Phillies.
