when talking about age...important to realize that some of these players such as Lackey...Culpepper...Sabato.....Lee.actually went to college..gained experience there...as such, they enter pro baseball older....,,around 21 or 22. It is important to take that into consideration when comparing age any playing career. My belief is that Jenkins will improve with time,,,,but probably was baptized into the majors a bit early. I really am not certain if Royce is going to make an adjustment. He spent time with a batting coach all last winter. He will be 28....not sure how long of a leash the team should give him.
