Should I waive Brad Penny?

[timkell]

This guy has been a pain in my ... for the whole year. I'm losing my patience and he has no trade value right now.

Do you think I should waive him? I could pick up Myers, Tankersley, Carlos Hernandez, or Rafael Soriano instead.

What do you think?

[Arlo]

If you can't shift him to the DL, yes, I'd waive him. All the pitchers you listed ar einteresting gambles at this point; I'd probably be tempted to go after Soriano.

Yes dump him. However, I am going to disagree with Arlo, and suggest Carlos Hernandez. Look at his game logs. He is pitching very well, he just isn't getting the run support. He is guaranteed a rotation spot. Soriano has the skill, but he is under the microscope with his starts.

I would go with Hernandez at first, but keep an eye on how Soriano fares. But Hernandez will give you some consistency.

I'm out!
