Orioles Designate Edwin Jackson For Assignment

By charliewilmoth | June 11, 2017 at 10:03am CDT

The Orioles have announced that they’ve selected the contract of righty Jimmy Yacabonis from Triple-A Norfolk and recalled fellow righty Logan Verrett from Norfolk. To clear space, they’ve optioned righty Stefan Crichton from Norfolk and designated righty Edwin Jackson for assignment.

The moves bring two fresh arms to a bullpen that was forced to pitch 7 2/3 innings in a blowout loss to the Yankees yesterday. Crichton and Jackson pitched 3 2/3 of those innings, allowing five runs between them.

The O’s selected Jackson’s contract just four days ago. His brief action with the Orioles was his first in the big leagues since posting a 5.89 ERA, 6.5 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9 in 84 innings with the Marlins and Padres last season. The veteran has now appeared with 12 big-league teams over the course of his 15-year career.

The 25-year-old Yacabonis had an 0.90 ERA over 30 innings with Norfolk, but with an alarming 5.4 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9. As those numbers suggest, control has never been a strong suit for him throughout his five-year minor-league career. MLB.com ranks him 29th among Orioles prospects, noting that he relies heavily on a 93-95 MPH fastball. As David Hall of the Virginian-Pilot notes, Yacabonis continues to work on the development of a hybrid slider-curve that could prove key to his development going forward. He has never pitched in the big leagues.

    It’s hard to believe this Dan Duquette is the same Dan Duquette that TWICE acquired Pedro Martinez.

        Maybe he meant to write, “we need BAD starting pitching”?

    I hope a different team picks him up because I want to see him break Dotel’s record since he isn’t too far away from it

    Will Jackson get a shot at #13? Will anyone claim him?

    Probably no claimers and the O’s will offer another minor league deal hoping to get him innings as a starter. They need starters and he’s cheap enough.and they are desperate enough.

    Dan has no idea how to tell if a pitcher is any good. Every major pitching signing( Gallardo, Jiminez, and a hoard of lottery tickets) has been bad.
    Most of the guys he’s dumped( Gonzalez, McFarland, Triggs, Davies, Miranda) have been successful with their new teams, certainly far more successful than the guys he kept.
    Signing a guy who wasn’t even good enough for the worst team in baseball was obviously dumb, and everyone knew except Dan himself.

    In his prime Edwin Jackson had the distinction of being both the most underrated AND most overrated pitcher in the majors.
