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.

Way to lower your trade value, Robert.
Arbitration is a mother.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
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.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "

me thinks that too
but i credit ozzie for not lashing out at jenks in his counter response (which he’s prone to do)

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?

and then a lower level prospect……….
sox management continues to badmouth its players
why would anyone want to come here?
I'm still trying to figure out what was so bad in the first place.

various public comments about sox pitchers being out of shape
what possible benefit could that have?
teams love trading for perpetually out of shape players.
that article was really bad if you’re trying to trade him.
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.

programming reminder
white sox prospects in the AFL championship at 1:35 (central) on mlb network and mlb.com. you’re almost certainly going to see our anointed centerfielder of the future, our new third baseman of the future and clubfoot. projected lineup:
Javelinas lineup: Ackley 7, Danks 8, Mitchell 3, Morel 5, Lambo DH, Wells 9, Lucroy 2, Retherford 4, Iorg 6. SP: Varvaro.
thanks for the heads up!

Next time you have a meeting with Rick Hahn, a report like the one below would be appreciated

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?
Please find Jay Cutler some help...
Round is considered a shape

i think the whole in shape thing is overblown
rod beck, doug jones, todd jones… you’re pitching one inning for christ sake. i think bobby is a pussy more than out of shape :)
Kenwo4life=ratings
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.

yep, theres something to be said about a strong core.

"I like my DH like I like my women. Fat , slow and full of power."
by soxshenanigans
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!

he was talking about Buccholz.
He mentioned Beckham, and then excused Buccholz from the ROY due to his back injury.

what do you expect from an undrafted, club-footed, 5 foot nothin', 100 nothin' infielder with a mug like that.
he’s just a baseball player. there’s no higher compliment i can give him than that.
