Cubs Won't Drop Edwin Jackson From Rotation

Edwin Jackson is struggling, but Dale Sveum says he won't drop him from Chicago's starting rotation.
"No, we're going to stick with him," Sveum said. "It's a long season. There's still another 20-plus starts here to fix this and get it going."
Jackson is 1-7 with a 6.11 ERA. He signed a four-year $52 million deal with the Cubs this past winter.
"You have a commitment there and you have to stick with the commitment," Sveum said. "Coach him and teach, but it's not like he's a kid. Sometimes you have to do it yourself."
