I want to go out there and prove that it wasnt a fluke. I dont want to go out there and be like, Oh, I had my good year, I can ride that wave as long as I can, Hendriks said. I dont want to dwell too much on last year because I dont want to rest on my laurels. The right-hander, a former opener for the As, went 4-4 with a 1.80 ERA and 25 saves over a career-high 75 appearances spanning 85 innings. He plans to take the mound each opportunity he gets exhibiting the confidence that he can and will repeat what he did last season. The 31-year-old Hendriks is approaching this season as if he has everything to prove once again. The Oakland closer received a nice raise when he signed a $ 5.3 million, one-year contract last month to avoid salary arbitration. Going out there and making sure I put everything on the line every night is a big thing for me. Hendriks reliability in the ninth inning has earned him a solid reputation, too. Everything he does is with a passion and care known well for his thoughtful work off the field as much as his intensity on it. Nobody is surprised to see Hendriks helping out.
Whatever the underlying genetics are between the two of them is what produced this very unique mutation, now we're looking long term to understand and study what that gene is, are both parents recessive trait holders, is this just a fluke ?Īs my wife said, it was just sheer dumb luck, it was a complete fluke, an absolute fluke.
