southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Mike Ferrin @MikeFerrinSXM 31s32 seconds ago Per @Marlins White Sox get LHP Dan Jennings (not GM Dan Jennings) for Andre Rienzo. Another solid pen add for White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Phenomenal trade. That completes the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Don't know much about him. ERA, strong k numbers, not so great WHIP. In general though, would appear to be an upgrade, especially since it appeared Rienzo wasn't going to be a good long-term fit. Like the fact that Jennings is cheap / cost controlled.

Quin Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Also, great trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I like it. Rienzo had no real future on this team. Jennings can be used as a 6th and 7th inning guy along with Guerra. He's also left-handed. I wouldn't be surprised if he out-performed Zach Duke. He also has reverse-splits...so I'm not sure what to exactly make of that.

shysocks Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Jennings has significant reverse splits. Either way this is fine. The org was clearly done with Rienzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 While not a follower of the Marlins of he career of Dan Jenings, from this http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jennida01.shtml it looks like a really good trade.

In general though, would appear to be an upgrade, especially since it appeared Rienzo wasn't going to be a good long-term fit. Like the fact that Jennings is cheap / cost controlled. It looks like he gets hit quite a bit. Lefties hit .291 off him last year. Yet he still had a ERA below 2. His strand rate was 88%, which tells me he's really good at getting high leverage outs, or he got lucky as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Awesome. Shoring up the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 So, the bullpen looks a lot better. RHP Guerra Petricka Webb Putnam Cleto? LHP Duke Surkamp Jennings Closer - Robertson Missing anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Excellent, even if it doesn't work out, it's a great trade that should be made 100% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Looks better, but didn't think Downs/belli/cleto would be so terrible first two months last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Bullpen shaping up nicely, and maybe some room to trade a Webb or Guerra if they have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again, he absolutely does. Career: .284/.354/.403 against L .233/.322/.389 against R Hope somebody tells Robin - this one's tricky!
