southsider2k5 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,768802.story Closer Bobby Jenks would like to pitch in one more game this season for some peace of mind in what could be his final appearance with the White Sox. "Going into the offseason — whether it's this team or another team — knowing I'm healthy, knowing they don't have to worry about the offseason or coming into spring training with anything on their minds," Jenks said Monday before throwing a bullpen session without discomfort in his right forearm. Jenks admits he has been frustrated that he suffered ulnar neuritis and hasn't pitched since Sept. 4, just before the Sox fell out of playoff contention and further hurting his chances of returning as an arbitration eligible player. Jenks hopes that his 15 consecutive save conversions this season will be taken into consideration. "But I'm on this side of the door," Jenks said. "We don't know what they're thinking or working on. All I can do is just get myself healthy and pitch, and let that do the talking for me."

"It seemed like that team dismantled fast, in the first place, Jenks said. "So I think they were trying to hold on to as many as possible, and it's just about that time where if it happens, it happens." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Anyone think the Sox are keeping Jenks from playing in a game because they want to re-sign him cheap because other teams will worry about his health? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maki Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 12:10 PM) Anyone think the Sox are keeping Jenks from playing in a game because they want to re-sign him cheap because other teams will worry about his health? No, if that came to light they'd have gigantic problems. If Jenks was 100% ready to go with no concerns about his health whatsoever, and they still weren't pitching him, he'd be screaming about it at this point.
