The Chicago White Sox have acquired 26-year old righty starting pitcher Edwin Jackson from the Arizona Diamondbacks for 23-year old righty starter Daniel Hudson and 19-year old lefty starting pitcher David Holmberg. Jackson pitched in 21 games (all starts) for the D-Backs this year and he was 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. He has now pitched in 160 games (131 starts) in his major league career and he is 44-49 with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Daniel Hudson came into this season as the White Sox’ #3 prospect heading into this year. Hudson has pitched in 3 games (all starts) for the White Sox this year and he was 1-1 with a 6.32 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP. He pitched in 9 games (5 starts) in his two years with the Pale Hose and he was 2-2 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. David Holmberg was the White Sox’ #8 prospect heading into this season according to Baseball America. Holmberg pitched in 22 games (15 starts) in his two years with the Pale Hose in the minors and he was 3-3 with a 4.59 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. It will be interesting to see if the White Sox keep Jackson and use him in Jake Peavy’s old spot in the rotation or if they will flip Jackson for a big bat. The Washington Nationals covet Jackson and the White Sox like Adam Dunn….so stay tuned.
