I see the Phillies are close to signing Geoff Jenkins.

Here's the good news. Most seasons by an active player since 1999 with an OPS+ of at least 130:

(sorry, had to use a link because something buggy made the post go blank before.)

So Jenkins is one of just 32 players with at least 4 such seasons.

The "bad" news is that Jenkins averaged 103 in the other 5 intervening seasons, including 101 in each of the last 2. He's by no means a bad player, but it seems he's likely pretty average in that regard.
