The Oakland Athletics scored four runs off Edwin Jackson in 6 1/3 innings this afternoon. That was enough to give the A's a 5-3 victory and drop Jackson's record to 0-5. Jackson's ERA is now 6.99. The league is batting .302 against him. He's walked 18 in 28 1/3 innings. He's only 23 but he's been yo-yo'd between the majors and minors for three years. Maybe a team should just decide he's not ready for the majors. He's just too wild, and doesn't strike out enough batters to make up for that. Maybe a full year at AAA would do this young man some good.
