Unreal ... that a guy that sucks gets 7.5 million to continue sucking ... can't make this stuff up. So Penny will earn double what Jon Lester will make this year.

That's good for the Sox ain't it? Brady Penny has shown that he is strictly a National League pitcher, and that's where he will remain. I think he will do a good job for the Cardinals in the 3rd or 4th spot in the rotation for them.

What a league. Penny is HORRIBLE. I can't believe someone paid him that much money.

Man that is a ton of money to pay for a #4 ... doesn't say much for their development system.
