Blue Jays Acquire Zach Jackson

By Mike Axisa | January 9, 2010 at 9:00am CDT

The Indians have traded lefthander Zach Jackson to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later, according to a team press release. He's been assigned to their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas. 

Jackson, 26, has a 5.81 ERA in 105.1 big league innings, striking out just 5.4 batters per nine innings. His minor league track record isn't much better (4.83 ERA, 6.2 K/9), however he's always been stingy with walks. Toronto originally drafted Jackson in the first round back in 2004, but sent him to Milwaukee in the Lyle Overbay trade after the 2005 season. He joined the Indians in 2008 as part of the C.C. Sabathia deal.

    Ah, Zach. The Indians hardly knew ya! A fresh start on a new team, new eyes looking at him, certainly won’t hurt.

      It’s too bad Zeph Zinsman never panned out.

    Smart move. Draft a guy let him go to other teams for experience then when he is about to deal get him back.

    This guy has the potential to be a great number 2 in the rotation.

      judgeing by his numbers, a great number 2 is a huge stretch, more like a average lefty reliever if he even makes it to the bigs again. but i still like the move, can never have to much depth, and lefties as well.

        The optimal word is potential. Wether he fills that potential is another matter. When he was drafted it was within him to progress but with the dearth of talent the Jays had in the farm he struggled to shine. Sending him to another team via trade allowed him to learn. Now it is upto him to grow from there but he was drafted as a possible 1 or 2 starter and can now prove that if he is able.

          Stop, he’s 26 and a reliever.

          Woops, my bad, didn’t realize he was still being used as a starter. Regardless, I don’t think he’s going to amount to more than middle relief.

          “When he was drafted it was within him to progress but with the dearth of talent the Jays had in the farm he struggled to shine.”

          You said absolutely nothing with this sentence.

          And, with your understanding of the word potential, every player in the minors from rookie ball to AAA has the possibility of being a superstar.

          You obviously haven’t been watching Zach Jackson actually pitch.

      Jackson’s a number two alright.

      Nothing special.

      You can say that for any failed draft pick.

    can never have too much pitching depth, man AA is a beast, working on the chapman deal and getting some AAA depth as well, all while on his honeymoon, impressive.

    You might want to look up the word dearth in the dictionary.

    Do you really mean dearth or did you mean wealth of talent? Dearth means lack of.
