2 observations-

G. Jenkins, regardless of his overall from season to season, has spurts EVERY YEAR, where the guy just catches fire. Me and my friends call him the biggest "leightening-in-a-bottle" player in the league. He has usually a couple of 1-2 week spurts of just insanely good hitting numbers on a yearly basis.

But! He also gets hurt... every year. Just when you think he's realy startin to get his season goin, he'll get some injury that will put him on the DL. I gotta assume he's landed on the DL every year of his career (no joke). So you take the good with the bad for him. He's starting to get a little older, but he is a professional hitter. He';d be definately someone my beloved Twinkies could use...

One other note- It's tough to compare him to Rowand. At least defensively it is. Jenkins hasn't ever played CF for any team. They should've kept Rowand, but as far as saying Jenkins is Rowand's replacement, that's not right... Remember this, Rowand has had his health issues too (but he's also one of the hardest players in the league).
