BOS - CHC

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

Cubs Trade

SP Edwin Jackson [11M 2016]
IF/OF Junior Lake (Prospect)
6.5M on Jackson's 2014 contract

Red Sox Trade

2013 1st Round Pick (BOS)


Accept.


Did it to add another pick. I may regret this if Lake ends up being a fixture in CHC, seems to have come into his own this season. Edwin wasn't needed for me, good innings eater, but full rebuild in CHC.

[Jack (Red Sox)]

I don't know how i feel about this, other than the fact that Junior Lake better pan out. Accept.

The 7th pick in the draft for a pretty bad SP and a hot topic story?

Edwin Jackson has had only 2 sub4 era seasons in his career, with a career WHIP of 1.44 (of which he has a 1.41 this year). He isn't an elite K pitcher and plays for a horrendous team of which coming across wins is pretty scarce. Especially when you pitch as bad as he.

Junior Lake, while stating off hot this year for the Cubs, has a career .271 avg. in the minors. He has some slight pop, but his speed shown in the minors has yet to translate to the majors. Not to mention he doesn't really have a defensive home in Chicago with the middle infield plugged by Castro and Barney.

Maybe re-work this with some more value going Boston's way, but as of now...

[Tyler (Mets)]

Nowhere near enough value for that pick lakes not even a top 100 prospect and Jackson's a 4-5 starter

[Anthony (Cards) (LM)]

A mediocre starter and a prospect who isn't a good hitter is nowhere enough for the #7 pick.
