Hermanson may miss some time in the near future...

[White Sox Josh]

Can someone post a picture of Jenks?  I've heard he's a big boy, but I've never actually seen him.

[Milkman delivers]

He's in Addison's sig.

 

Yeah, but that's not the greatest picture. He's supposed to be fat, right? Anyone have a picture that shows that?

[3E8]

It's time to bring out the Jenks sig.

Now it's a three-way battle between me, you, and Kalapse for the greatest tongue-in-cheek Soxtalk sig.

I'd have to go with yours. It actually makes Timo look cool, which we all know he is not.

for the Hermanson family.

 

Also, right now it HAS to be Baj coming up for this time. Just let Jenks bide his time and show a sustained period of sucess before we bring him up during a pennant race. Baj has put up a couple of solid years, and doesn't have the mental issues that Jenks has.

[Tadahito15]

Just curious, how old is Jenks again? I want to say 22+

[3E8]

24. Like the TV show.

I think Politte has developed a taste for closing. He is nearly unhittable when runners are in scoring position in tight games. I would trust him no problem.

 

AND, if Politte excelled, I would consider flipping Politte and Hermanson in their roles when Hermanson came back. Politte rules.

I like the fact that we can use Politte at anytime from the 6th to the 9th inning, against another teams top RH hitters. I wouldn't want to see him closing with Hermanson around, just for that reason.

 

Personally if I am Ozzie, I throw Shingo out there and give him a chance to prove himself again. After the season Takatsu had last year, he deserves a second chance at closing.

Thought and Prayers go out to Dustin and his family.

No to Politte closing. He wasn't too successful in Toronto at it anyway. If ain't broke, don't fix it. He's been one of the most dominating setup-men in baseball this year. I hate to say it, but we should Shingo a shot. If he fails, then we have many other options.

My sig is not tongue-in-cheek. Crede has a great swing.

I dont know how this applies really. he wasnt good at much of anything with Toronto, closing, relieving, whatever. Sometimes players take longer to get where they need to be.

If you are the opposing pitcher, its a perfect swing.

 

Its also perfect for missing fastballs low and away. Also sliders low and away.

Fastballs over the middle, fastballs in.

Those 8 game winning streaks will do that.
