What if Phils waive Jenkins?

[JohnBriggs12]

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.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I would take Jenkins back as a 4th outfielder.

[joepepsi]

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.

[Invader3K]

Really not that interested, unless he was exceptionally cheap. He was not very good at all last year for the Phils.

[Fatter than Joey]

I'd pass. I don't see what use he would be -- I hope that Braun and Hart are playing most the time, and I think we could find a cheaper (Gabe Gross!) option to be that 4th OF.

[tigerbrew]

Yeah, no on Jenkins, I rather have Gross back instead.

I'd be up for one more of those month long hot streaks.

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

[DHonks]

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.

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.
