Newsbreakers

August 27, 2009

According to the Dallas Morning News, the Rangers have designated right-hander Jason Jennings for assignment.

Our View:

The mover clears a roster spot for righty Pedro Strop. Jennings, who landed a bullpen spot out of spring training, held a 4.13 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. Looks like the Rangers didn't want to risk pitching him during their playoff push.

April 2, 2009

Jason Jennings has made the Rangers' opening day roster, according to InsidetheRockies.com.

Our View:

Jennings did not earn a spot in the rotation, and is only worth consideration for AL-only leagues while serving as a long-reliever out of the bullpen.

March 30, 2009

Jason Jennings is out of the Rangers' rotation plans, but could still hold a spot in the bullpen, according to the Dallas Morning News. GM Jon Daniels said, "Yes, it is something we are considering."

Our View:

Jennings is no longer worth consideration for AL-only leagues as he is out of the mix for a rotation spot. He has been recovering from a hip flexor ailment.

March 5, 2009

According to the Dallas Morning News Jason Jennings is set to make his spring debut Thursday. He is recovering from a hip flexor injury and is only expected to throw one inning.

Our View:

Jennings is one of many trying to stand out on a mangled Rangers pitching staff. If he cracks the rotation he may have some value in AL-only leagues.

February 28, 2009

Jason Jennings, who is attempting to rebound from elbow problems, is slated to throw a simulated game Sunday, according to the Star-Telegram. He then hopes to begin participating in exhibition games Wednesday or Thursday.

Our View:

Jennings will be a risky fantasy option due to his recent track record with durability, and would only be worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues if he fares well during spring training.

February 23, 2009

Jason Jennings was able to throw all of his pitches during a bullpen session Sunday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He said, "I do not like being on a different schedule than everyone else. veryone is playing right now. The sooner I am back, the better." He is trying to rebound from elbow problems.

Our View:

Jennings will be a risky fantasy option due to his recent track record with durability, and would only be worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues if he fares well during spring training.

February 20, 2009

Jason Jennings hopes to throw batting practice on Saturday for the first time this spring, according to the Star-Telegram. He is trying to rebound from elbow problems.

Our View:

Jennings will be a risky fantasy option due to his recent track record with durability, and would only be worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues if he looks good during spring training.

February 14, 2009

Jason Jennings could begin the season in the minor leagues, according to their official site. "I'm willing to do whatever they feel is in everybody's best interests," Jennings said. "Whatever is best for my arm and the long haul. We don't want to rush me to Opening Day, have a setback and then go back on the DL."

Our View:

Jennings had some decent years in Colorado, including going 16-8 with a 4.52 ERA. Unlike most pitchers, his career has gone downhill since leaving the high altitude as he's only started 25 games in the last two years with Houston and Texas. He's worth keeping an eye on during the season due to past success, but leave him on the board during your drafts.

February 6, 2009

The Rangers have signed Jason Jennings to a minor league deal, according to the Denver Post. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Our View:

Jennings will be aiming to get his career back on track after battling arm injuries the past two seasons. The Rangers decided to add Jennings after Ben Sheets confirmed he needs elbow surgery.

February 2, 2009

The Dallas Morning News reports that the Rangers are still considering the possibility of bringing back pitcher Jason Jennings.

Our View:

Jennings was ineffective in his six starts with the team last season before undergoing elbow surgery. He finished the year 0-5 with a 8.56 ERA and holds no fantasy value at this point.

January 29, 2009

The Brewers are not interested in Jason Jennings, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Our View:

The club is not interested in other projects such as Kris Benson or Mark Redman either. Jennings has been recovering from elbow surgery, and the Rangers and Diamondbacks are known to be interested.

January 22, 2009

Arizona is interested in Jason Jennings, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

He is an option if Braden Looper turns down their upcoming offer. Jennings topped 200 innings twice in his career with Colorado.

January 13, 2009

GM Jon Daniels has talked to Jason Jennings' agent, Casey Close, about a minor league deal for the righty, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Our View:

Jennings has fallen completely off the map the last two years. He would be better off going to the NL and not trying to resurrect his career in Texas.

January 7, 2009

The Denver Post reports that Jason Jennings is drawing interest from the Rangers and Diamondbacks.

Our View:

Jennings has not played most of the last two seasons due to injuries. He made six starts with the Rangers in 2008 and finished with an 0-5 record.
