As for his ratings, you have to remember that the stats you see in the editor don't take ballpark factors into account. Wrigley Field is 1.095 for lefty HR. The preseason projections had him at between 18 and 24, non-neutralized; 16 neutralized should be about right for Wrigley field.

I just simmed the season twice and he hit .242 with 17 HR one time and .252 with 19 the 2nd. The 2nd was a mirror of his ZiPS projections (.252/.296/.419 in game; .252/.299/.433 ZiPS).

I understand that the rosters are far from perfect, but I see no issues with Colvin. However, after looking at Jackson, I do have to agree that he could use some real tweaking. I'd say ratings in the mid 40s for stuff and movement and low 40s for control would be a little more appropriate.
You made a great point about Colvin there. His stats seem to be fine then. But yeah, Jackson really should get a bump in his ratings.
