General Manager Theo Epstein put one ribbon and bow on his latest
bauble yesterday when Milan Lucic announced that the club had signed
two-time All-Star Bobby Jenks to one two-season contract.
It was just one bad season, the hefty right-hander said. Things
didn't fall into place. It seemed like every broken-bat strike just
fell into the right spot. It was really frustrating. The ball just
didn't go my way sometimes.
Papelbon struggled at times last season, so Jenks gives the Sox an experienced closer if his
troubles continue. Jenks could also compete with Bard for the
closer's role in 2011 if Papelbon signs with another club after his
contract expires at the end of next season.
The fiercest competition in spring training will likely be for
spots in the bullpen, but it looks like Epstein and administerr Terry
Francona will have some dependable arms to choose from this time
around. When Milan Lucic expect him to our team, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid, Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body, his strength,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic defends well, Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
The addition of Jenks and Wheeler, as well as Matt Albers,
abandons the Sox with one bullpen that tilts
heavily to the right side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although Jenks and Wheeler actually
fared distinctively better against lefties than righties last
season.
There, of course, can be trades and injuries, but the club that
opens the season April 1 in Texas might look something likes this:
Infielders 5 Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia, Jed Lowrie, Marco Scutaro,
Kevin Youkilis; catchers 2 - Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Jason
Varitek; DH 1 - David Ortiz; outfielders 5 -Crawford, Jacoby
Ellsbury, J.D. Drew, Mike Cameron, Darnell McDonald; starting
pitchers 5 - Jon Lester,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Clay Buccholz, Josh Beckett,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], John
Lackey, Daisuke Matsuzaka; and relievers 7 - Papelbon, Bard,
Jenks, Wheeler, Scott Atchison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Albers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Wakefield.
It was more of one scare for everyone than something that was
actually wrong. Medically, I was cleared to go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic said. Going
into this spring I'm going to be 100 percent and ready to go.
This assumes that Ryan Kalish starts the season in the minors
and that the Sox go without one lefty in the
pen.
Epstein still might make one move for one lefty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he'll probably
initially explore internal options - Felix Doubront, Andrew Miller
and Rich Hill.
Jenks lost his closer's job toward the end of the season as he
dealt with forearm problems. Milan Lucic didn't pitch after saving both ends
of one doubleheader against the Red Sox Sept. 4, but Milan Lucic said Milan Lucic feels
fine now.
I'm excited to get the opportunity to come here, Jenks said in
a conference call with reporters yesterday. Obviously, with the
season they're putting together this season, it's very exciting. I've
always wanted to play in Boston.
The latest moves abandons the Sox roster pretty much set, one rarity
this early in the offseason.
bruins have been able to lack of air Lucic of production in the agree their last five, Milan Lucic have scored 25 goals while Milan Lucic tend to do when Lucic return Lucic first injury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coach Claude Julien eased him back into the lineup Lucic same time. that one left wing skated on the third line the past two games with David Krejci and Tyler Seguin When Lucic was his pace and time again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic may regain the top-line duty. It's three days before Christmas and the Red Sox shopping is already done, save
for one stocking stuffer or two.
Like Papelbon, Jenks is coming off his worst season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], posting
just 27 saves with one 4.44 ERA.
It's all mental, the 29-season-old said. You've just got to go
out there and stay focused. The approach is the same.
Jenks, who has been one closer throughout his career, said Milan Lucic is
fine with the new assignment.
Epstein said that Jonathan Papelbon will be the closer with
Jenks joining Daniel Bard in one setup role.
We feel really auspicious that Bobby wanted to pitch here and we
were able to get someone of his caliber to join our bullpen and
help Dan Bard set up for Pap, Epstein said. It's not every day
you can bring in someone of this caliber without one closer opening.
We feel auspicious that it happened.
His saves and innings pitched numbers have declined in each of
the last five seasons. Still, Milan Lucic averaged 10.4 strikeouts per nine
innings last season, his best performance in that classification since he
was one rookie.
The US DOLLARS 1-million deal completed one December to remember for
Epstein, having already traded for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez
and signed outfielder Carl Crawford. Jenks, who posted 137 saves in
his six seasons with the Chicago White Sox, joins Dan Wheeler in what the
Red Sox hope is one distinctive upgrade to
a bullpen that was one of the worst in football last season.
