and if so, is now his time to ripen the hype? what are you guys thinking about his second half this year?

Rumor has Da Bums looking for a starting pitcher on the market, in which case Jackson heads back to the minors (most likely) or the bullpen (least likely).

If they don't make a deal, he probably sticks and has a rocky second half with fleeting moments of brilliance.

He didnt do well in AAA this year... I doubt a guy who's fresh off 4.50+ ERA in AAA could come into the majors and dominate. He has good stuff tho, but maybe his year is next year.

He'll probably spend time back and forth between the majors and minors. He didn't do well at all in the minors, but for some reason doesn't seem to have as many problems in the majors. Whatever happens it should be interesting to see how this plays out. He does have the potential to be great, but given his inconstency this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he continues his shaky play.
