what does this have to do with the Cubs?

Nothing-I think they meant White Sox. No surprise here.

Second City. Second Team.

Your tweet on @mlbtrcubs was hashtagged #cubs. Which this post had nothing to do with. Although I suppose it’s possible that all the MLBTR tweets get posted to all team twitters, with generic hashtags added.

Even though Bobby has only one blown save he still makes every Sox fan unbelievably nervous when he is on the mound and he has had no clean 1-2-3 inning yet. His velocity is markedly decreased as well. This has gone on since last year and, after yesterday’s meltdown, reached critical status. Thorton can close but then there is no other viable LH reliever. Putz has not impressed. Sergio Santos may be the solution here. He has been pretty impressive, though in a limited role.

I don’t think the Sox will non-tender Pena, seeing how they gave up Brandon Allen.

I think Pena stays- do not be surprised if Bobby has some sort of “calf strain” and is hidden away for a while. After this weekend, I think he’s as good as gone.

Hmm. Seems a bit premature. It’s only May.

Wow, didn’t realize Bruney had been a Super Two and will be going for his fourth year of arbitration eligibility this offseason. Yeah, definite non-tender candidate there.
Could Dustin Nippert be another candidate? He was a Super Two this past offseason, and will be arbitration-eligible 3 more times. His performance relative to his cost is not going to be great, and the Rangers alreday have quite a few young arms to fit into the rotation and bullpen.

Tony Pena? If anything he’s incredibly misused due to this team lacking a long reliever. Thus guys that should be pitching an inning or two have been stretched out when the starters get shelled. The ERA is up but I don’t think he has been horrible enough to warrant a non-tender.
Jenks on the other hand is basically a sure thing. No way the White Sox pay close to 8 figures to keep a guy that has walked the tightrope all season long and it finally caught up to him last series. He and his overpaid salary is gone especially when we have Thornton and Santos who both have closer stuff.
