White Sox may not want Jenks return

Maybe Manny can close.

So who is going to close for the Sox if Jenks is gone?

Chris Sale. Jenks is awful and should not be on the team next year.

Papelbon is a lot better than Jenks. WSox would probably have to include more than just Jenks for that to happen.

I can see the change of scenery helping both. However, Jenks is horribly prone to breaking down due to his fitness level. He just isn't good.

JJ Putz will more than likely be the closer if they do make a change. They are not going to waste Sale, a number one draft pick, as a closer. They definetly want this kid to be a starter someday, maybe next year that is what he will be doing in the minors.

The Mets could use a closer like Jenks.

Among others. But yeah K-Rod is out.

How would Sale be wasted? Closing is essential.

Putz proved he couldn't close this year/

Jenks is done with the Sox. Book it.

the braves got in the post-season by a little luck, just to prolong cox agony because we know very well that this team has too many players on the injury list!

the yankees refuse to face the rangers, it could be that they do have the feeling about cliff lee blow the yankees away? or they just do as a precaution and nothing else?

I honestly don't know how they got in with so many in their rotation and lineup out for the season with injuries. But once you're in, you've got a shot. Maybe a 1988 Dodgers type of miracle?

i always like braves ever since back on the 90's with those wonderful pitching rotation, as maddux, glavine, smoltz, merker, mike stanton, and leo mazzone as a pitching coach, i just wish that they would have more talent on the hitting side,but then again i know where they are as a team, wish them well regardless the outcome,they still my team who i will support every season every game!!

Hopefully he's back with the White Sox next season
