CWSOX45 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Saw a special about him and his drinking problems on Sportscenter today, it was an interesting story. I doubt he makes the majors because of his drinking problem, anyone else see this piece? CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've heard a lot about Jenks. He's one of the guys I'd love to acquire because he's a special kid. Unfortunately he has a whole lot of problems upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I saw it too. He has talent and I think he may make the majors but hell be something like Albert Belle I predict. Its a shame such talent has to be wasted like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 What do I predict? He's a top tier closer in 5 years. A fastball that reaches the high 90s/low 100/s and he has a killer curve? Sounds like closer material to me. As a starter, he would be good for maybe half a year, then he'd throw out his arm. But as a closer, it would be a completely different story.

aboz56 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I saw the piece as well and it certainly appears he's got all the talent in the world to become a stud big leaguer. If he can shake off his other problems, I'm guessing you'll see him in 2-3 years as a nasty addition to someone's bullpen, most likely Anaheim's if they've stuck with him this long...

dasox24 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Its a shame such talent has to be wasted like that... I saw the piece on Sportscenter, and I agree with you on that it's such a waste of talent when someone with that kind of "stuff," has those kind of problems.

Soxplosion Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Anaheim definitely, AA I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Can anyone elaborate a little, I did not see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Basically an Angels minor leaguer named Bobby Jenks can throw up to 101 mph but he is a drunk. He has problems like hes very aggressive and such. I was on here so I didnt pay a ton of attention, maybe someone like CWsox can be even more elaborate...
