I have made my points of why I am frustrated with Jenkins. (Jenks actually leads the NL in strikeouts, by the way). When players aren't productive anymore, they should spend some time on the bench. Not continue to bat #3 (supposedly reserved for a team's best hitter). I don't want to toss Jenkins into a river or anything. The fact of the matter is, he's just not getting it done right now, and he needs to spend some time in the batting cage figuring it out, not on the field where it's hurting the team. Maybe he figures it out in the 2nd half and goes on a tear, I sure hope so. But I hate seeing him continuously go out and do basically nothing when we have young outfielders on the bench and in the minors waiting for their shot. Take Brady Clark, for example. He struggled at the beginning of the season, and of course, people criticized his performance. So Yost moved him out of the leadoff spot and tried him somewhere else. When that still didn't work, he gave him some time off and gave Gross a few starts. Then Clark worked his way back in, got comfortable in the 8-spot, and seemingly found it again. Jenkins should be held to the same standard. Just because he gets paid a lot and we expect more out of him isn't reason to be stubborn and continue to throw him out there every single day in the hopes that he will suddenly put it together.
