Time to Roster Dotel?

Bobby Jenks is that guy who always ends up on one of my fantasy team every year. Going into this year I really didn't want to own him , but I had him in a keeper league so I am stuck with him for now. After looking at his number overt the past 3 years it seems like Jenks is due to explode very soon. Let look at his figures for the past 3 seasons:

Note: XERA is a Baseball HQ figure that displays what an ERA should be with a pitcher's given ratios.

2006: IP: 69.7 SV: 41 ERA: 4.00 K/9: 10.3 XERA: 2.79
2007: IP: 65.0 SV: 40 ERA: 2.77 K/9: 7.8 XERA: 3.24
2008: IP: 61.7 SV:30 ERA: 2.63 K/9: 5.5 XERA: 4.01

On the surface his ERA has declined 3 years in a row but it is really tough for a closer to suceed in an extrexe HR park with a K/9 rate of 5.5. His K rate has almost cut in half since 2006 and his XERA has gone from 2.79 to 4.01. I believe it is time to sell on Jenks and if you own him it would be wise to grab Dotel as Plan B. Last season Dotel fanned 74 in 56 innings of work posting an ERa of 3.86.

The Norfolk vs Durham game was postponed due to rain and that game was going to feature David Price vs Wieters for the first time since college.

Tim Beckham goes yard in opener for the Bowling Green Hot Rods.

Brett Wallace sending message to Tony going deep twice and driving in 6 runs while going 4-5. This may be guy to pick up now as the 3B position seems to be in serious limbo in STL.

Pedro Alvarez impresses in debut going 3-4 with 4 RBIs and falling a triple short of the cycle

Tommy Hanson fans 10 in 4.1 innings for AAA Gwinnett

Texas Top Pitching prospect, Neftali Feliz, issued 6 walks in AAA debut. With Kris Benson in the Texas rotation, this kid may not have much time to learn in AAA.

Jason Motte's time as closer may be running out fast as he was pulled from tonight's game in the 9th inning after he surrendered 2 hits to Pudge and Keppinger. He did get Bourn to fly out to center but K. Mclellan relieved Motte and recorded the Save by striking out Matsui and getting Pence to ground out. This is not good news for Motte owners and I have no idea what Tony is going to do but after reading this article, it seems like Perez is going to get another shot at closing games for the Cards sometime this season.
