A two-way player drafted by the Cubs as a pitcher in 2008, Randy 'Jay' Jackson is a sturdy righthander with a heavy 93mph fastball and an average curve. Jackson went 8-14 with a 5.34 ERA in 26 starts with AAA Iowa this season. Originally selected by the Cubs in the ninth round of the 2008 Draft, he's got some 2012 sleeper potential as a fifth (or sixth) starter, but if the Cubs need a power righthanded arm in the bullpen sooner than that, the kid they (should) call 'Dawg' could get a look-see a lot sooner than that.
