Any news on Penny?

[Trot Nixon]

I was just wondering if anyone had any news, good or bad on how Brad Penny is doing?

[L0rdB23]

he just needed to rest his arm.. he had the same type of injury kerry wood had during the season from what ive heard.. he should be 100% by the start of spring training

He hasn't thrown yet and I read that the Dodgers have no plans to pitch him off a mound in December which isn't good news. But I haven't seen any new news in the last week or so.

wILL Carroll form Baseball prospectus says this is the same type injury that STL pitcher Chris carpenter had at the end of the year.Penny was a bit more serious though. As it sits , Carpenter was almost ready to pitch the world series which is good news for both injuries. this type of injury is kind of new to doctors and trainers so I dont think anyone will actually know a Thing until Spring training starts and we see them pitch. If you own Penny in a keeper league for pennies (nice choice of words ), I would hold onto him unless i clearly had a better choice. If he will take the spot of a healthier choice before you can see him pitch this spring, let him go and hope you can get him back cheap if he's OK.......
