Blue Jays infield prospect Justin Jackson will transition to the role of starting pitcher this season.
Still just 24 years old, the former first-round pick hit a meager .230/.320/.315 over six minor league seasons as a shortstop. He's said to have a plus arm, but the right-hander is incredibly raw and unlikely to make an impact at the major league level in the near future.
