Saw a special about him and his drinking problems on Sportscenter today, it was an interesting story. I doubt he makes the majors because of his drinking problem, anyone else see this piece?

I've heard a lot about Jenks. He's one of the guys I'd love to acquire because he's a special kid. Unfortunately he has a whole lot of problems upstairs.

I saw it too. He has talent and I think he may make the majors but hell be something like Albert Belle I predict. Its a shame such talent has to be wasted like that...

What do I predict?

 

He's a top tier closer in 5 years. A fastball that reaches the high 90s/low 100/s and he has a killer curve? Sounds like closer material to me.

 

As a starter, he would be good for maybe half a year, then he'd throw out his arm. But as a closer, it would be a completely different story.

I saw the piece as well and it certainly appears he's got all the talent in the world to become a stud big leaguer. If he can shake off his other problems, I'm guessing you'll see him in 2-3 years as a nasty addition to someone's bullpen, most likely Anaheim's if they've stuck with him this long...

Its a shame such talent has to be wasted like that...

I saw the piece on Sportscenter, and I agree with you on that it's such a waste of talent when someone with that kind of "stuff," has those kind of problems.

What organization is he in?

Anaheim definitely, AA I think...

Can anyone elaborate a little, I did not see this.

Basically an Angels minor leaguer named Bobby Jenks can throw up to 101 mph but he is a drunk. He has problems like hes very aggressive and such. I was on here so I didnt pay a ton of attention, maybe someone like CWsox can be even more elaborate...
