B ill James make« tome peculiar commend
about Jenkina He lumps Jenkina. Catfish Hunter,
and Robin Roberta in one mass His criteria?
A) Outstanding Delivery
O K . Fergie was good but Hunter could
paint the black w ithin a quarter inch, and pitch,
any inning, any game
Sure. Jenkina only had 997 career walks,
but if you had Cubs and Ranger« defense« behind
you for most of your career you d tend to groove
(hem. too. right? Which brings up Item
HI Very high number of heaaa
runs allowed.
Jenkina pitched moetly in W ngley; Hunter
pitched in Oakland and Yanl.ee Stadium
C) Medium range strikeouts
Ferguson Jenkina ia ninth all time with
3192 K a T h ia i t not m ediu m ian g e Neither waa
