SF Giants sign Penny!

Thoughts?

I know he was sucking in Boston but could he turn things around in SF?

Good move. You dont have to turn it around. he will be the same pitcher but his numbers will be good.

His first start is Wednesday. If Zito can keep it together, the Giants will have a pretty solid 4 starters. Randy Johnson is hoping to come back and pitch relief sometime in September...they could make a decent playoff team now.

Good signing.

As mo said it's not really that he'll turn it around, but the same pitches that were getting hammered in the AL EAST will look like great pitches in the NL WEST.

I'd probably rather have Penny than Smoltz and he has been just fine in the NL

I love this signing. Penny is a much better pitcher in the NL.

he is washed, left the dodgers and now he comes back to the nl west, i don't think it works, pushing a string uphill imo

Its a good pickup IMO, Giants pitching has variety and strength. If they can get some production from Garko and get Sanchez back soon they will be the most dangerous team to face in a short playoff series.
