    Penny was released tonight, at his own request. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view/20090827brad_penny_feels_pinch_gets_released/srvc=sports&position=recent_bullet It looks like the Red Sox are just going to go into the stretch run with the kids, and probably call up Paul Byrd when the rosters expand.

    Maybe it was the Cardinals. They seem to be having good luck with our castoffs, and I'm sure they don't mind since it's the Red Sox who are paying them. If Texas wanted Penny, I think I would have just let them have him, the way he's been pitching lately.

    Drew's not a problem. He's frustrating because he doesn't perform to the level you would expect from a $14 million player, but there's a difference between frustrating and bad. He does contribute in a positive manner. A player is a problem when he is causing you to lose games. Like a number of our shortstops since 2004.

    The Reds are eating $1.1 million of the $1.53 million he's still due for this season. So we're basically renting him for about $425,000. He has a $6M option for 2010, and a $500,000 buyout if the club declines. If Theo thinks he can find a long-term solution, he can just pay the buyout, or if there's nothing out there, then he has the option to keep Gonzalez for one more season. There are worse shortstops out there. We know, we've had our share of them this year. I'm just glad we're going into the stretch run with at least one legitimate major-league shortstop on the roster. He can't hit anymore, not that he ever really could, but at least he won't kick away a run or two every other game.

    We could only be that lucky...of course, the Strangers would probably be smart enough to use him in relief.
