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.

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.

 

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.

Doesn't look like this guy has any platoon split differential.

Look again, he absolutely does.

 

Career:

.284/.354/.403 against L

.233/.322/.389 against R

 

Hope somebody tells Robin - this one's tricky!
