July 25, 200520 yr Just a quick question to all you guys. With a three game series in Kansas City, is now the time you let Bobby Jenks try and close out a game for us? I think this would be a prime opportunity for Jenks to get his feet wet, and learning to close games in the big leagues. CWSOX45
July 25, 200520 yr I wouldn't mind seeing it, but I don't think he will get opportunities this year. You have to go to Politte if Hermanson is unavailable.

July 25, 200520 yr I think they are going to use him a bit more. But they will probably ease him into more late game situations. As long as he can keep his control in check we are witness to a nice power arm that can help us in the stretch and hopefully in the playoffs.

If and only if Hermanson's back really is serious and he might miss some serious time then yes this would be a good series to try and get Bobby's feet wet as a closer. Cliff's been to damn good in the setup role to try and make him a closer.

I just get a kick out of when he hits 99, then 99 and then once again 99, then breaks off a sick curve. After we picked up this guy from the Angels in the offseason, I was curious if he would ever regain that velocity. Boy has he ever. Edited July 25, 200520 yr by southsideirish71

I remember seeing him on ESPN when he was drafted thinking, man I want a power pitcher like that. Then seeing we got him, then seeing his throw, then seeing the curve fall off the table. YES!!!!
