Its expected that Penny will replace Joe Martinez in the rotation. And why not? He had a 5.61 ERA with the Red Sox this season, who signed him to a 1 year deal worth $5 million.
After a bitter divorce from the Dodgers, Brad Penny has found a new home. This time in the City by the Bay. The San Francisco Giants reached an agreement with Penny, on Monday August 31, the deadline for post season play eligibility. This addition has become a focal point of post season hopes, as the beloved Giants are now tied with the Colorado Rockies for the National League Wild Card lead.
Its expected that Penny will replace Joe Martinez in the rotation. And why not? He had a 5.61 ERA with the Red Sox this season, who signed him to a 1 year deal worth $5 million. (It’s not bad work if you can get it). You might remember that prior to the Sox, he was at home with the Dodgers for four seasons. His shoulder issues caused his career, and his team, serious difficulties.
Will Penny bring enough heat with him to help our beloved Giants clinch NL Championship victory? Signing Penny might indicate that the team doesn’t expect Randy Johnson to bring much to the race for the pennant.
