White Sox Acquire Edwin Jackson

Sounds like Berkman is about to be a Yankee. I'm afraid that will make the Rays go balls to the wall to respond and get Dunn. If true, it sounds like it's down to the Rays and Sox.

Kenny has said this year he's hesistant to trade for a national league pitcher, saying that they don't make the transition so well (perhaps a comment on Peavy) so I have to believe Jackson is desired by someone as a key piece of a trade.

Edwin pitched in the American League and in the Central Division last year and has been in the AL his entire career until this year.

Good point. What I should've said is that Edwin has been unsuccessful in the generally less offensive NL so he should probably do worse in th AL. Apparently Coop sees him as a project, but I don't know if this is such a great time for a project. Personally I thought the kid tonight, Harrell looked like he should be able to get it done. Honestly if the Sox get more than 5 wins out of the 5th starter the rest of the way I'll be happy.
