"I've done everything I can do, I've done everything that is physically possible, to make myself in better shape this year," said Jenks. "Where the years previously I didn't lose weight in-season, I didn't want my weight issue to be a factor as to why I had an off season." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/581071 581071 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 9:20:01 EDT kffl.com 39 days 10 hours 56 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/581071 According to MLB.com, White Sox's closer Bobby Jenks is not happy about the team calling him out about his weight and conditioning this season. "I've done everything I can do, I've done everything that is physically possible, to make myself in better shape this year," said Jenks. "Where the years previously I didn't lose weight in-season, I didn't want my weight issue to be a factor as to why I had an off season."

Our View: Jenks has been under fire from the team for his weight for years now, and they need to learn that he is not going to be getting much smaller. When he is pitching well, nobody complains about his weight, but since he struggled this season they are on his case. He should be back with the Sox next season, and expect the team to complain about his weight yet again. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/579941 579941 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:00:03 EDT fanball.com 40 days 4 hours 16 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/579941 Scott Merkin, of MLB.com, reports Chicago White Sox RP Bobby Jenks is unhappy with the team's criticism of his conditioning at the end of the 2009 season. "I've done everything I can do, I've done everything that is physically possible, to make myself in better shape this year," said Jenks. "Where the years previously I didn't lose weight in season, I didn't want my weight issue to be a factor as to why I had an off season." Manager Ozzie Guillen recently expressed concerns over Jenks' weight. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/579896 579896 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:40:02 EDT kffl.com 40 days 4 hours 36 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/579896 The Chicago Sun-Times reports the Chicago White Sox are hoping CL Bobby Jenks is back in a Chicago uniform next season, although the club hasn't ruled out trying to trade him in 2010. ''Tough call,'' Guillen said. ''We don't want to trade him, but in the meantime, Kenny's (general manager Kenny Williams) never going to say no to any trade if he thinks it's going to help this organization. I still think Bobby's going to be our closer next year. If something happens between now and next year, then we'll make a move. Can (Matt) Thornton close a game? A lot of people doubt it; I say he can. He's got good- enough stuff, and he's got experience." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/566681 566681 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 4:56:03 EDT kffl.com 47 days 15 hours 20 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/566681 Manager Ozzie Guillen said he thinks Jenks (calf) would return to the White Sox in 2010, the Chicago Tribune reports.

"Bobby Jenks is under contract right now, and he's here,'' Williams said. ''It's not something I need to discuss or entertain right now.'' Williams did say he still has confidence in Jenks. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/545111 545111 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 1:52:01 EDT kffl.com 58 days 18 hours 24 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/545111 Bobby Jenks is out for the rest of the year and the rumors have begun to fly. See ESPN, the Examiner, RotoWorld, MLBTradeRumors, and even Bob Nightengale chime in with their belief Jenks will get traded this offseason. Entering his second year of arbitration, his steady save totals should augment his $5.6 million salary to [...] http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/544518 544518 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:16:01 EDT fangraphs.com 58 days 23 hours http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/544518 The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that White Sox's closer Bobby Jenks has been shut down for the season with a calf injury. Jenks finished the year with 29 saves and a 3.71 ERA.

Our View: There are some serious questions about the future of Jenks in Chicago, as the team is concerned about his injury history, especially with an upcoming arbitration that could cost the team $7 million. He tied a career high with six blown saves this season, and he doesn't appear to be the dominating closer he once was. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/543284 543284 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:32:01 EDT fanball.com 59 days 8 hours 44 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/543284 "I heard the pop, felt it and it's not good," said Jenks, after the White Sox dropped an 8-6 decision to the Twins. "It's unfortunate with the timing with everything, the way our team has been going. All together, it's one [bad] deal." Jenks, 28, finishes the season with a 3-4 record, 3.71 ERA and 29 saves in 52 appearances. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/542833 542833 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 1:20:20 EDT mlb.com 59 days 18 hours 56 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Bobby_Jenks/542833
