7-2 Isn't Bad

Edwin Jackson and the defense didn't show up today; five errors by the Rays and four innings, seven hits, five earned runs, two walks, and no strikeouts is the final line for Edwin.
After that the Rays held the Reds hitless through the rest of the game, Dan Wheeler, Troy Percival, Chris Mason, and others also worked a scoreless inning each.
Brignac, Upton, and Hinske added runs for the Rays, but they fall short today 4-6.

Re: 7-2 Isn't Bad
If by the All-Start break he's sporting a deceivingly good season (say 105 IP, 8-4, 4.40 despite the usual crap ratios), he'll be a valuable trading commodity ala Victor Zambrano. (They're not going to get another Kaz ofcourse). With the much improved defense, it think that's very possible.
What's the downside of keeping him?

Re: 7-2 Isn't Bad
The +/- between the available options for the 5th spot is only 2 wins at most. The benefits that will be reaped for a "good" Jakcson season are more plentiful. I admit I might just be thinking wishfully. :)

Re: 7-2 Isn't Bad
Hammel - looks horrible
Howell - doesn't have the velocity
Jackson - not good
Niemann - not economic enough

Re: 7-2 Isn't Bad
If anything, given his reputed ability to adapt and the variety of his offerings, as well as his history of pitching deep into games, the more logical inference would be that he will improve with more experience.

Re: 7-2 Isn't Bad
On the bright side; we have three guys who nobody is overly concerned with to start the rotation, that's a first.
