lol, Jackson has sucked for the D-Backs this season despite the no-hitter and he has control issues.

Christ, I hope not.

I'd rather have Hudson than Jackson

There is no reason to give up what few pitching prospects the Sox have in exchange for Edwin Jackson. None. Yeah, the guy is going to be entering his prime pretty soon, but I don't think his solid 2009 effort is enough to outweigh the utter crap that has been the rest of his career.

That 2009 season Jackson had a .281 BABIP and an xFIP of 4.39

Jackson walks a lot, like his 8 in the no hitter. I would not like the trade for the Sox. They should just trade Hudson for Dunn or Fielder then. I see them both as better players to acquire than Jackson.

07:28 AM ET 07.30 | To date unable to land Adam Dunn, the White Sox, according to a report, "are on the verge" of acquiring Diamondbacks pitcher Edwin Jackson for rookie Daniel Hudson and a prospect. ... While the White Sox coveted Dunn, they shifted their focus to a starting pitcher after growing discouraged about their chances of completing a trade with the Nationals, sources say. The Sox need for another starting pitcher arose after right-hander Jake Peavy was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Hudson, who replaced Peavy, has a 6.32 ERA in three starts and is next scheduled to pitch Friday night against the A's. Jackson threw a no-hitter against the Rays on June 25, but issued eight walks and overall is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA.

White Sox On Verge Of Acquiring Edwin Jackson
By Luke Adams [July 30 at 1:51am CST]
1:51am: If the two sides were to agree on a deal, the second prospect heading to the D'Backs would also be a pitcher, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

1:14am: The White Sox are on the verge of acquiring Jackson, report Rosenthal and Morosi. Chicago would send Hudson and another prospect to the D'Backs in the proposed deal.

12:26am: The White Sox are looking into acquiring Edwin Jackson from the Diamondbacks, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Although the Sox have been linked peripherally to Jackson for much of the week, reports to date have indicated that Chicago's only interest in the right-hander would be as a chip to facilitate a three-way Adam Dunn trade. Rosenthal suggests, however, that the Sox may be interested in acquiring and keeping Jackson, rather than flipping him.

While Chicago covets Dunn, they are becoming less convinced they'll be able to work out a deal with the Nationals before Saturday's deadline. As such, they've been focusing more on bolstering their starting rotation. Rosenthal writes that the Sox are exploring other pitchers in addition to Jackson, as they look to replace the injured Jake Peavy.

Peavy's current replacement in the rotation, Daniel Hudson, could be a key piece in a potential trade for Jackson, according to Rosenthal

In think Lilly will be a better option than Jackson as he's cheaper in money and spects and probably will pitch better. Also, he does not weak much batters.

But, it appears Jackson is going to the Sox.

if we picked up Lilly that would give us 3 LH SP's I wonder if it has ever been done in the ML's before by any division contender???
