| Player Notes |
| May 10, 2008 Bobby Jenks, sporting a blond goatee (pink on Thursday), allowed a solo home run to rookie Wladimir Balentien in the ninth but still got his seventh save in nine chances. |
| April 28, 2008 Both closers in Monday afternoon's game between Baltimore and Chicago were unable to hold a lead. The Orioles tied the game in the ninth off Chicago's Bobby Jenks on Melvin Mora's RBI single that scored second baseman Brian Roberts. Jenks allowed one run on two hits and struck out one in his single inning of work. |
| April 8, 2008 Bobby Jenks currently co-leads the MLB with four saves, but only registered one strikeout and three walks over his four innings pitched. He has notably added a changeup to his arsenal of pitches this season, and that could be affecting his strikeout/walk totals in the early going. |
| April 7, 2008 As if he wasn't difficult enough to hit, word is now leaking out that Bobby Jenks has added a changeup to his repertoire, this according to MLB.com. "I've been working on it all spring," Jenks said. "I'm not saying it's something to be used every day, but I've shown it and it's in the [scouting] report." Jenks is off to a quick start with four saves, though he has only one K and three BB in the early going. Look for another 35+ save season from the big guy provided he stays healthy. |
| April 5, 2008 Bobby Jenks closed out the Tigers on Saturday to pick up his third save of the early season for the White Sox. Not many people seem aware of the fact that Jenks may have been the best relief pitcher in the American League last season after the all-star break as he posted a 0.58 WHIP in 29.1 innings. If he keeps pitching like this, we will forgive him for having a blonde fu manchu hanging from his chin. |
| April 4, 2008 Bobby Jenks closed the door on the Tigers on Friday and earned his second save of the season. The bulky reliever did walk two batters in the ninth, but he escaped without allowing a hit or a run. |
| April 3, 2008 Bobby Jenks earned his first save of 2008 as he preserved a 2-1 win against Cleveland, as he threw a hitless inning, with one strikeout. The White Sox needed this win, and end the first Cleveland series with a 1-2 mark. |
| February 25, 2008 Bobby Jenks was signed to a one-year contract Monday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Jenks receives a small raise from his $450,000 salary in 2007 and is a year away from the arbitration process, where he will likely get a significant pay raise. |
| January 26, 2008 Bobby Jenks and the White Sox have had preliminary talks about a contract extension, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Jenks said on Friday that "during the winter meetings, there were some feelers thrown back and forth, so we'll see." After picking up 40 saves last season, it looks like the Sox want to lock him up for the foreseeable future. |
