The White Sox announced on Saturday that they will be giving both Bobby Jenks, 28 and Carlos Quentin, 27 one year contracts.
They Sox, like all of us, see potential in both of these players because we have seem them perform.
But both their years last year probably kept the White Sox from giving them longer contracts.
Jenks, deal is worth $7.5 million and Quentin's is $3.2 million. The Sox were able to avoid arbitration with both players.
Jenks went 3-4 with 29 saves and a 3.71 ERA last season. Sadly, he fell one save short of his four straight 30- save seasons.
Quentin had a rough season in 2009, hitting .236 with 21 homers. His slump towards the end of the season can be blamed on his month and a half sit on the disable list from May 29 to July 19 due to a foot injury.
Let's hope Carlos can dig himself out of his slump.
Let's pray that Jenks takes care of himself so his ERA and blown saves don't rise this year.
