Player Notes

July 4, 2009
Brad Penny was solid on the Fourth of July, striking out six in six innings while surrendering only two runs, but took a no-decision as the Red Sox lost 3-2 to the Mariners.

Our View:Penny has lowered his ERA to 4.67 from 6.69 on May 14, on is worth a roster spot in deeper mixed or AL-only leagues.

June 28, 2009
Brad Penny pitched very well on Sunday, but was handed his third loss of the season. He allowed just two runs on six hits over six innings, but the Red Sox fell 2-1 to the Braves.

Our View:Penny only struck out two, but did not walk a man in Sunday's outing. He's now put together four decent starts in a row, but has failed to go beyond 6.1 innings the entire season.

June 23, 2009
Brad Penny gave up three earned runs on six hits over 5.2 innings in Tuesday's 11-3 win at Washington. He had three walks and fired six strikeouts.

Our View:The game was tied 3-3 when Penny exited, so he takes a no-decision rather than a win. He remains at 6-2 for the season.

June 19, 2009
Brad Penny is still likely to get moved at some point before the trade deadline, but according to the New Hampshire Union Leader it may not be for awhile. The Red Sox are comfortable going with a six-man rotation for the time being, mainly because it will allow them to ease in and evaluate John Smoltz before they get rid of Penny.

Our View:With the trade market being pretty slim at this point, the Sox feel like they are best served to keep Penny in the rotation as an insurance policy for Smoltz. As teams start to transition from neutral to buyers and sellers, the Red Sox will then look to unload Penny assuming Smoltz holds up. Penny owners should be prepared for a move, but not as quickly as everyone originally thought.

June 18, 2009
The Boston Globe is reporting that several teams sent scouts to watch Brad Penny in his start on Wednesday against the Marlins. The two teams believed to be most interested are the Rangers and Phillies.

Our View:Penny pitched fairly well in what amounts to an audition for other clubs last night, and it looks like he will be dealt sooner rather than later. He could be a nice addition in either Texas or Philly, but don't be shocked if one or more other teams make a play for him as well. The effect a trade will have on his fantasy value will be determined by which team he goes to, so check back after a deal is struck.
