Just a few days after dealing Dan Haren, the Diamondbacks traded away another starting pitcher. Edwin Jackson was dealt to the White Sox for starting pitcher Daniel Hudson, the third ranked prospect in the Sox' organization according to Baseball America, and 19 year old left-handed pitcher David Holmberg.
Jackson did throw a no-hitter on June 25, but the season overall has been a bit of a struggle for the righty. Even with the no-no, Jackson is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA. There is speculation that the Sox will trade Jackson to the Nationals in a deal for Adam Dunn, but we'll see what happens before tomorrow's trade deadline.
Holmberg was selected in the 2nd round of the 2009 draft by the White Sox. So far this season, Holmberg is 1-1 with a 4.46 ERA in eight games started for Great Falls of the Pioneer League (same league that Missoula plays in). Holmberg was rated as the eighth best prospect in the White Sox' organization according to Baseball America.
