Rumorville: Edwin Jackson

PrintJust some more speculation. Jon Paul Morosi at FoxSports is looking at potential suitors for, among others, Edwin Jackson. Amid the big-market teams like the Yankees and Angels is a team of Crushers you might have heard of:
The Brewers don't have much money to spend but must upgrade their rotation. That makes them a good fit for Jackson, who probably won't earn more than $4 million in 2010. The Tigers could ask for left-handed-hitting third baseman Mat Gamel as the possible successor to Brandon Inge.
See, the way it works is, we trade Corey Hart to the Kitties for Jackson, and move Gamel to right. That way, everyone is happy, except possibly for the Tigers, but we don't really care about them. Trading Gamel, though? Bad juju, man.

Jackson is a similar value to Gamel for next year, but
Gamel is under control for 6 years and Jackson for 2. So we would need 3 Jacksons to do that deal. (Note: that’s not really how it works)
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
$60 doesn't seem much of an incentive.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
Carl Pavano = probably cheaper ($$), won't cost Gamel, was better in 2009, will be better in 2010?
Ryan Braun: He loves it. *Secretly, I am Carlos Gomez*
Thanks, but no thanks, Detroit.
SI’s Jon Heyman tweets a rumor of the Tigers’ demands from the Mariners in an Edwin Jackson trade:
“Hearing Tigers sought young pitchers Brandon Morrow and Shawn Kelley for Jackson. Mariners apparently said no.”
So the Tigers offered two years of Jackson for four years of Morrow and five of Kelley. Were the Mariners right to turn it down?
