Player Notes

November 19, 2008
Bobby Jenks is likely to remain in Chicago, according to the Hot Stove Report on MLB.com. Pitching coach Don Cooper said, "It doesn't surprise me the Mets or whatever other teams rumored out there might have interest in him. New York is a team with a lot of money to spend, so I see them having interest in a lot of guys. Bobby is a big part of the White Sox right now. He's a valued member of the bullpen for our team. I certainly could see other teams coveting him. But right now, Bobby is our guy. He still has all the ingredients to stay as one of the game's best closers."

Our View:He has saved 111 games over the last three seasons, but has scared some potential suitors away due to a drop in strikeouts over that span. The Sox still view him as one of the steadiest closers in the league, and is likely to be pitching in Chicago in 2009.

November 16, 2008
The Mets have been linked to White Sox closer Bobby Jenks, but one Mets official told the New York Post, "Unless something changes, I would say the chances of us getting Jenks are close to zero. The price is too high and he isn't close to the top of our list."

Our View:Jenks has appeared in many rumors this offseason with several teams in need of a closer.

November 13, 2008
The New York Mets may be interested in acquiring the services of White Sox closer Bobby Jenks, according to New York Newsday.

Our View:No word on if the White Sox would deal their closer, but the Mets are in need of one with Billy Wagner expected to miss the entire year.

October 5, 2008
Bobby Jenks picked up his first save of the post-season on Sunday as the White Sox defeated the Rays 5-3.

Our View:Jenks was throwing hard and meant business from the first pitch despite that terrible looking goatee. Look for him to be in the game late if the score is close as the Sox will need to win the next two games to move on.

September 30, 2008
Bobby Jenks used the 163rd game of the season to pick up his 30th save of the season, the third straight year he has reached that plateau.

Our View:Jenks wasn't the same type of pitcher this year with a K/9 of 5.55, well below his career average of 8.57, but he was still highly effective posting the best ERA of his career at 2.63. Look for continued production from him moving forward.
