NO WAY! ;) Actually, We will update the software by Spring and hope to add that. If I put in an edit button, it will make you all look smarter and thus, make me look more stupid. NO WAY! ;)

He made $2.2 million in 2009, and with a little over 3 years service is now arbitration eligible. Given the year he had in 2009, he's probably in line for a hefty raise, and the Tigers are probably looking to replace him with talented, but cheaper players. When I heard the Sherrill for Jackson rumors earlier this offseason, I couldn't understand why the Tigers would want to do that deal. And I'm guessing that I was right. However, throw in McDonald and Elbert (or their equivalents), and perhaps the Tigers would be interested, or at least near interested. Actually, I'm not sure they would want Sherrill, since I think he may also be arbitration eligible (unless the Tigers thought they could turn him around in another deal). Of course, I haven't seen Jackson pitch since he left the Dodgers, but he's put up good numbers since leaving, and his stats indicate that his control is much improved. Maybe my opinion would change after I saw him pitch a few times, but right now he sounds like someone I would like to see in our rotation. Is it doable? I haven't a clue. By the way, in reading my previous two posts, I like others, long for an edit/preview button. It would make me feel less stupid.
