Starting rotation

Brad Penny, RHP 2008 statistics: W-L ERA IP K BB 6-9 6.27 94.2 51 42 Picked up for a penny (or so), the onetime power pitcher won 16 games two straight years for the Dodgers, then fell off last season when he was plagued by injuries. He's been steps behind the rest of the pitchers this spring, but the goal is to see what he can do between now and when John Smoltz is ready. If he excels? That's a good problem to have.
