Brett Jackson confirms what we already know
I like Brett Jackson. What’s not to like? He’s 23, a good ballplayer, and a nice person based off of different interviews I’ve seen. Not too long ago the three C’s were marketed as the future of the Chicago Cubs: Andrew Cashner, Starlin Castro and Tyler Colvin. Tyler Colvin struggled last year and is now… Read more »
