I’ll never forget the all star start he got where he came out of the gate pumping high 90s and even touching 100 if I remember right

That was amazingly something he always brought to the plate. When he pitched for the Tigers I was always surprised to see him sitting at 93-94 mph while occasionally touching 96-97. Maybe he just seemed older than he was, or that I felt due to his extremely low strikeout rate there was no way he threw that hard. Velocity isn’t everything, unfortunately.

Eat innings in Buffalo, mentor the kids down there.

You don’t need innings eaters in AAA or mentors for that matter. You need major league ready players as depth for your parent club.

Can’t say I have fond memories of Penny, he was pretty awful for my Sox in 2009 with his 5.61 ERA (barf) but I wish him well in retirement regardless. Enjoy your retirement Brad!

Dude came to Fukuoka , pitched horrible for a few innings in the spring then basically walked out of camp and got on a plane back to the US. He couldn’t hack it.
