Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Bobby Jenks Cements His Place as White Sox Regular Most-Likely to be Traded this Off-Season

Free agency is 24 hours old, and the supposedly inactive White Sox are keeping things interesting. As you've no doubt heard by now, they're supposedly close to a bringing in Omar Vizquel to play a backup role, and now Joe Cowley has won the weekend with some juicy quotes from Bobby Jenks and Ozzie Guillen:

"Did I feel I was being picked on? No," Jenks said in a phone interview. "But I felt I was the easy scapegoat because I had struggled in the end with some nagging injuries. This organization, just like most in this game, tell you, 'Come in, our door is open and tell us what's on your mind.' And when you do, they turn it around on you and make you feel bad. They're playing on your own words. They want you to come in, be honest and then they turn it around."

There's more... I'd post it, but I'd just be ripping off the entire article. Head on over to the Sun-Times and read Cowley's piece, then come back here to make some cracks about Orlando Cabrera's sexual partners.

What did he say that was so bad?

Oz and Coop can talk about conditioning to the press but Jenks can’t defend himself?

His, Jenks, only mistake was talking to Cowley.

Leadoff and Jenks....

but can somebody please help me out here on some potential leadoff alternatives? Obviously it’s not Figgins/Damon…….what are some potential non-tender leadoff candidates? Is R Johnson a possibility?
I wonder if trading Jenks to STL could be a fit…..they definitely have some wiggle room financially and with Franklin’s awful ending to 2009 I think STL would have to at least entertain the idea of getting a bonafide closer that will be reasonably affordable on a short-term basis and net Type A in two years…..
So then what do the Cardinals have that the Sox could be interested in? How about Allen Craig?

Maybe I missed something

But it seems like this is the second different time he’s responded to comments made more than a month ago. Those seemed to warrant one response, but two seems like overkill. These ones that Cooper made don’t single him out.

Does Bobby Jenks not realize that its not that ridiculous

for a proffessional sports team to expect its players to be in some kind of shape?

Being out of shape IMO

leads to his nagging injuries like his back. I am tired of the annual Bobby is dealing with a hurt (insert body part) so Linebrink will take over the closing role until Jenks has recovered.

This quote says it all to me.
‘[General manager Ken Williams] is probably going through some tough decisions whether to keep me or trade me,’’ Jenks said. ‘’His decision is the tough one. Mine is easy. I just sit back and see what happens. Until that decision is made, he’s the GM, and I’m the player.’’

Instead of sitting back, why don’t you start getting in shape and conditioning you fat fuck!
