fathom Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If games like this convince the Sox to not bring Jenks back, then it's well worth it. His stuff isn't even close to what it used to be. His fastball is down 4 mph from where it was a few years ago, and his curve isn't even 50 pct of what it used to be.

RME JICO Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Such garbage. Danks denied his 31st win and still stuck below .500 for his career (30-31). What does that kid have to do for a freakin win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2009 -> 01:08 AM) Seriously Bobby? I remember when Jenks was one of the hardest pitchers in baseball to hit a home run against. Now, he's given up more homers than just about any reliever not named Kevin Gregg.

Even in 2005-2006, it seemed like the one thing you could do against him was hit it out of the park, you just had to swing early and have the fastball happen to be where your bat was.

I think his ballooning paycheck will convince them. It actually might be better if he looked lights out these last couple of weeks. Someone may actually give up something useful for him. One thing is for certain, if they pay Jenks and have Rios in CF, any crying about lack of funds will be laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 He needs location and is not getting it. The value that they could have gotten for him is pretty decreased now so there is no reason to trade him. I just turned the mgame on after the homer. This game resides squarly on the offensive bargae that has been shut out the 4 innings...... I will say it yet again, they have scored more than 4 runs once this entire trip. I blame the bullpen trouble on the fact that every inning of every game is stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He supposedly can't pitch in non save situations because he can't get motivated enough to get guys out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crappy in non-save situations. He would make an okay middle reliever, but he's not so good as a closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
