I'm glad the release wasn't unexpected for him. They had to make a roster spot for Wagner. I'll say this: Penny was fine this year. He was brought in here to be a 5th starter and was basically that. He had a decent stretch in the middle third of the season, so I'm not disapointed.
Good luck Brad, Red Sox Nation wishes you well.

So it's basically down to Dice-K Jr and Buchholz for the 5th starter spot when Dice-K returns. I personally think Dice-K Jr can win the spot, if he keeps it up. We'll see. So rotation:
Becket
Lester
Wake
Dice-K
Dice-K Jr.
(emergency starter/long relief) - can stay on roster when rosters are opened up Sept 1
Buchholz
Paul Byrd
Playoffs
3rd starter = whoever has been pitching best between Wake, Dice-K, Dice-K Jr and Buchholz (or Byrd, but highly doubt it).

He had a good couple months for us. With all the trade rumors circulating. Then once the rumors stopped, he started stinking up the joint.

There are some rumors he might jump ship to the Yankees...

I encourage anyone with a faint heart to not look at how Brad Penny fared with the giants tonight.
