Cubs Sign Edwin Jackson

After signing starters Scott Baker and Scott Feldman, the Cubs were looking for some more arms in there rotation. They signed free agent pitcher Edwin Jackson to a 5 year, $52M contract. Last season Jackson posted a shaky 10-11 record and a 4.03 E.R.A., but had a great strikeout to walk ratio (168:58) in 31 starts. Jackson was also prone to homeruns as he allowed 23 madbomers, including 14 of them on the road. However Edwin Jackson has never appeared in Wrigley Field in his career, so he'll have to make some adjustments in the windy city. The addition of Edwin Jackson to Chicago will provide a solid #2 or #3 spot in this Cubs rotation.
