Edwin Jackson is a strong buy for me.
Copying Mike Roger's comments in a Ed.Jackson forum:
"He only went up ~30 innings, but he threw wayyyy more pitches. 2008 saw him throw 2955 pitches in 32 games for an average of 89.5 (call it 90).
2009 saw him throw 3454 in 33 games for an average 104.6 (call it 105).
Essentially 15 more pitches per outing which is a considerable amount, in my opinion."
Considering the dramatic fall-off in the second half in SwS% and Strike% probably due to fatigue, I like Ed.Jackson's shot at a breakout season in '10 (as long as you keep him fresh). 180 IPs strong is about right.
