"The Philadelphia Phillies are among a couple of teams looking at the Chicago White Sox and trying to project which players will be available if the the White Sox don't get back into the American League Central race over the next few weeks. One top Philadelphia scout was looking at the White Sox this week, concentrating on closer Bobby Jenks.

The Phillies' main concern is the back end of their bullpen where closer Brad Lidge has had numerous injury problems over the past couple of seasons. Jenks has had two of his best outings recently.

"The last two outings he has thrown the ball very well," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "The ball is coming out of Bobby's hand a lot better. I don't think he's throwing 97 mph. The scoreboard said 97. I don't think 97, but he is throwing the ball much better. He's healthy now. His calf isn't bothering him.""
