In an effort to make room for Matt Stairs, or to possibly acquire another right handed bat, the Phillies have released outfielder Geoff Jenkins. Jenkins spent one year with the Phils and hit .246 with 9 homers. He was signed last offseason with the thought that he would be a solid platoon partner with Jayson Werth in right but he never really got his bat going. Jenkins will likely be picked up by another team and should have no regrets about his one championship season in Philly.Releasing Jenkins forces the Phils...Click for more on Jenkins and the possibility of Sheffield on the Phillies...
Original Story:
Ok so they are getting rid of a lefty bat and are making room for another righty on the bench. Don't know about Sheff but Bruntlett has been showing he can hit the ball this spring, and he is a pretty good defensive option as a spell outfielder. Does anyone know if Donald is guaranteed to go back to minors, or whats going on with Cairo? What are their statuses, assuming they don't land Sheffield are either of them potential bench right handed bats?
