Austin Jackson is a Chili Dog

Chad has picked up Austin Jackson for his Farm System. Jackson is a right handed outfielder from Denton, TX. He was selected by the Yankees in the 8th rd of the 2005 draft. He is currently playing for the Trenton Thunder of the AA Eastern League. Jackson is hitting .282 with 23 2B, 5 3B, 8 HR, 54 RBI. He has swiped 14 bags while getting caught 5 times. He is listed as the #1 OF prospect for the Yankees ahead of Tabata. In 2007 he hit .304 with 13 HR and 33 SBs. He also is improving his plate discpline with a 47:73 BB:K in 2008 compared to a 48:109 ratio in 2007. The Yankees seem more protective of their prospects as of late and with Damon nearing the end of his career it will be interesting to see who takes over in the OF for the Yanks with Jackson, Tabata and the current LF Brent Gardner all looking to earn the spot.
