June 13, 200520 yr Lots of rumors that after the Barons First Half ends on Sunday that Bobby Jenks will be on his way to the bigs and Casey Rogowski up to Charlotte which then will allow Villcais to maybe come of the DL or Wasserman to be promoted and Leo Diagle to be called up from Winston-Salem
June 13, 200520 yr QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) Lots of rumors that after the Barons First Half ends on Sunday that Bobby Jenks will be on his way to the bigs and Casey Rogowski up to Charlotte which then will allow Villcais to maybe come of the DL or Wasserman to be promoted and Leo Diagle to be called up from Winston-Salem Wow, very interesting I assume that would mean goodbye to shingo. Wow, I'm kind of speechless. I've wanted to see what Bobby could do but do you think this is a little early BHAM or do you think he's ready?
June 13, 200520 yr I don't think that this will be happening anytime soon. Jenks is doing well but he still has a 3.00 ERA in AA with a poor walk rate. Edited June 13, 200520 yr by Jabroni

He will probally always have a bad walk rate. But i agree it is way too early and i just don't see it happening at this point ( him being brought up).

Nothing to left for him here I was hopeing it would be charlotte because I don't think he is ready.

His walk rate is cause for concern but his ERA is very misleading he gave 7 runs in the first game of the season and only 4 ER since.

I was about to say that. So who would go down? They can't possibly be ready to give up on Shingo already.
June 13, 200520 yr I was about to say that. So who would go down? They can't possibly be ready to give up on Shingo already. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think Shingo is going anywhere with his $2.5 million salary. They will unfortunately let him work out his kinks as our bullpen's jizz-mopper in blowouts.

Has his control been any better as of late or is he still having a ton of issues throwing strikes? The thing I'm really worried about if this happens is his mental stability I hope he's matured enough that if he has a bad outing or two in the majors that he won't lose it again.

Walk haven't been a problem as of late blowing away hitters with his upper 90's heat and 12-6 Curves. As for mentaly that is why I wrote what I did about hopeing Bobby isn't called up
June 13, 200520 yr That I don't know This what I found out from Champion the Sox's Pitching Cordinator, And for Bobby Jenks I hope it isn't true <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kenny must be hoping for his own poor man's Billy Wagner. I just hope he doesn't get Mark Wohlers instead.
June 13, 200520 yr It's good to see Rogo on his way to Charlotte. A good half season there, and he could be in the mix for 1B next season if Konerko doesn't re-sign. A Gload / Rogo platoon wouldn't be the worst situation if they both hit to their capabilities. Jenks doesn't have the best walk ratio, 17 BB's in 30IP, but it's not catastrophic. Look at the other stats, 35 K's and only 1 HR given up in 27 games, that's impressive. Now who would he replace? I can only see 2 options. Willie Harris (since they're never going to send down Timo), or Shingo.

June 13, 200520 yr Jenks' ERA is down to 2.87 after last night's game, just to correct my earlier 3.00 ERA stat. He had 2 K's in 1.1 innings and didn't allow a hit or issue a walk. He now has 15 saves for Birmingham. He only blew 1 save, correct? Edited June 13, 200520 yr by Jabroni

June 13, 200520 yr You guys are acting like wohlers was a scrub his whole career. He has a good string of three or four years in a row. I would take a wohlers type of pitcher that we basically got for free. Edited June 13, 200520 yr by qwerty

June 13, 200520 yr I would too I used Wolhers because of mental collapse great stuff then completely collapse <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BINGO! Well, headcase or not, I don't see how Jenks could possibly be any worse than Shingo. Shingo is a meatball waiting to happen and I'm sure his head probably isn't screwed on too straight right about now. Edited June 13, 200520 yr by Jabroni

He only went crazy for about a year and a half which is pretty weird considering he pitched a couple more years after that without awful walk rates.
June 13, 200520 yr Author I think Bobby has Major League stuff, But I have serious doubts about his Mental state
June 13, 200520 yr I think Bobby has Major League stuff, But I have serious doubts about his Mental state <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just don't let him get drunk and leave a lighter sitting around near him... By the way, has Jenks lost any weight lately or is he still Wickman-esque? Edited June 13, 200520 yr by Jabroni
