How can the umpires possibly believe that was not fan interference? When a fan knocks down the players glove, that is the very definition of fan interference. What a joke, the umps get it wrong in real time and still get it wrong after a replay. That's a case of pride getting in the way of reality.
Is there really no AL team willing to give up anything of value for what is obviously a major league ready bat? God I wish he could even remotely play decent defense at any position. Daryl Ward couldnt remotely play defense at any position, and we kept him around for 2 years. This is true and I'd really like to see Fox on the 25 man, but if the Cubs lose Gathright they become an extremely slow baseball team. Who pinch runs? I can't imagine Lou would waste Fuku/Reed or Miles/Fontenot strictly for pinch running.

5.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 K, 1/8 GO/FO The 8 FO are a little concerning, but that lines pretty decent. I have high hopes that Jackson can be a really solid 3 for the Cubs.
