Anything could happen to anyone. Maybe Jackson will develop more home run power. Maybe he'll learn to hit it to right field and get home runs on pop flies.

I'd say in his prime maybe 45 doubles 20 homers and the Yanks would be very happy. It seems as if they're grooming him to be a high average, all-fields line-drive hitter. And the on base skills are coming. Jackson is not going to be a power hitter…but he’ll definitely get a lot of doubles.

We already knew he could get people to miss. ------------------------------------------------------------ Yeah, this was only his third start...14 innings, so 4 walks isn't bad. Still has a few WP but, that's because his pitches move so much...and hard. 22 strikeouts and 9 hits. Not bad for a guy that only been pitching for less than two years. bodhisattva

He's a line drive and gap hitter. as long as he cuts down on his strikeouts, catches everything, gets his walks and steals bases, the home runs can wait. He's also right handed, so stop thinking that he's going to be an annual 25-30 home run hitter. Danny
