What if Phils waive Jenkins?


Now that the Phils signed Ibanez and still have lefty swinging Greg Dobbs and Matt Stairs as bench players their roster what are the chances the Phillies eat the $8 million they still owe Geoff?

 

Can anyone foresee a role for him back on the Brewers (assuming the Phils have to pay most of his contract) like occasionally filling in for Hart against some right handers.

It's tempting, but he really didn't hit righties that well last year. They struck him out 23% of the time. I think bringing him back this year will look like a step backward which would draw considerable criticism. Maybe in a couple years, but not in 2009.

I think I'd been down on Jenkins for probably 5 years, so I can't say I'd want him back. He's a defensive liability, doesn't hit for average, doesn't hit for power. Really, all he has going for him at this point in his career is a strong arm in the outfield.

Don't you hate Jenkins with every fiber of your being? Or am I confusing you with someone else?

 

KCBrewerfan, I'd assume. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Yup, I apologize. Its that "KC." I'll make sure I keep you too separate in my mind in the future.

Or could be me as I feel he stole money from the Brewers. But then again I'm the biggest Sheets hater on this site.
