Let's cut through all the nonsense and get to the bottom line.
Tim Wilken is an absolute joke and very possibly the worst
scouting director in MLB.
The Cubs minor league talent is the worst in MLB. Its top-end
talent is a collection of future bench players and middle
relievers.

Let him try his luck at Iowa, at least. Nothing to prove at AA
after already excelling there last season.

I'm not sure that Iowa is much tougher than the Southern League.
The Cubs seem to have decent success just bringing players up
from Tennessee

Yeah, the Cubs seem to like to stashing AAAA guys at Iowa for
the most part and prefer to use AA as the prospect garden.
But since Jackson seems to just be throttling AA right now,
maybe they should promote him in May and give him a look against
some more experienced pitchers.
