Rangers lose in 11 innings

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 00:04:05 -0500

A Jason Jennings wild pitch ended it. Another frustrating loss for the Rangers. This offense is MIA right now. Amazing that the bats are the biggest problem. But there were some positives tonight. Derek Holland pitched well just when he really needed a good outing (more on that in the morning). That is encouraging (yes, I know the Giants aren't a great hitting team, but he pitches well regardless). Frank Francisco also looked solid and should be ready to take over the closing duties any...

Jason Jennings: "I feel healthy again."

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0500

Jason Jennings admitted that it felt good to pitch well against the Astros, a team that never saw him at his best in 2007. "I wanted to show those fans something because they never got to see me really pitch well because of the injuries," Jennings said. "I wasn't able to do my job. Now I am." Jennings had right elbow troubles that plagued him for the 2007 season while in Houston. He was 2-9 with a 6.45 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) and had two stints on the disabled li...

Rangers Give Jennings Shot at Comeback

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:30:11 -0500

Jason Jennings spent six years in Colorado and somehow emerged with a positive record and a positive ERA+. But not unscathed. A torn flexor tendon cropped up, and Jennings crapped out. In Houston in 2007, Jennings went 2-9 with 6.45 ERA before surgery mercifully ended his season. At Texas in ...

Rangers re-sign Jason Jennings

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:51:46 -0500

Days after announcing that the team had to back out of a contract with Ben Sheets after it was revealed that the right hander needed surgery the Texas Rangers have resigned Jason Jennings. Jennings made six starts for the Rangers going 0-5 with a 8.56 ERA before undergoing season-ending surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon. It [...]

Sheets X-rays a concern

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:49:22 -0500

The Texas Rangers appear to be the front runner for Ben Sheets, he now lives in Texas and his childhood hero is Ranger president Nolan Ryan. The Rangers are willing to pay his asking price of 20MM for 2 yrs and the local paper believed that a deal could be done by Monday but things have slowed ...

Jon Leiber Signs with the Cubs: The Fantasy Impact

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 08:47:26 -0500

The only thing holding back Lieber from being a useful fantasy pitcher is how healthy he is going into 2008. Lieber is usually a helpful pitcher in terms of ERA, WHIP, W's, and even some K's (though he's not really known for strikeouts). This is mostly attributed to his excellent control. He owns a career Ctl of 1.73, and even last season, when he only pitched 78 innings and posted a 4.73 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, he still managed to hold a 2.53 Ctl (which is better than the NL average o...

Astros Getting Better, Red Sox Making Progress?

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 20:14:03 -0500

Poor Jason Jennings. He simply can't catch a break. He's managed to pitch pretty effectively in his first four years at Coors Field with the Rockies. His stats weren't always pretty but he won games and fared a hell of a lot better than guys like Mike Hampton or Denny Neagle. Jennings is finally leaving the pitcher's hellhole of Coors Field…and heading towards Houston's bandbox. The Astros acquired Jennings in exchange for center fielder Willy Taveras. Somewhere, Jennings is throwing thing because his stats are still going to be mediocre pitching in Houston.
