I take 40 homers next year even if he strikeouts 150 plus times.....that's more than nixon has had for homeruns in the last 3 years. Nixon is washed up and WMP is an upgrade. its that simple.
According to a source, former Dodgers hitting coach Tim Wallach is a leading candidate to replace Jackson, and Kirk Champion, the White Sox minor league pitching coordinator, will take over for Wallace.

From the MLB rulebook
In baseball and softball, a no-hit game (more commonly known as a no-hitter and sometimes called a no-no for "no hits no runs" refers to a contest in which at least one of the teams has prevented the other from getting an official hit during the entire length of the game, which must be at least 9 innings (27 outs) by the current Major League Baseball definition.
Actually we got we got Clay Buchholz and Jonathan Egan for Pedro with the draft picks. Ellsbury, Michael Bowden, Hansen and Jed Lowrie were first rounders that year as well. Buchholz could essentially make it to Boston by the end of next year while Pedro may never pitch again.
