do you think the white sox or should i say ozzy is really going to remove Jenks who by the way has only 2 blown saves from the closer role? Something about this just doesnt sound right and im not sure i am buying it from a guy like ozzy who puts out so much disinformation. What your thoughts on this ray? Should we all pick up putz who is available in most leagues?

Eric-
Yes, I would grab Putz. Even if this is somewhat of a smokescreen, the club has been interested in moving Jenks all year long, so they clearly have some issues with him. Plus, he Jenks has clearly been worst of Putz/Thornton/Jenks trio.
