Drove a couple of hours from my Atlanta home to Augusta last night to catch John Smoltz's next step in rehab. A lot of fans wore Smoltz/Braves jerseys and T-shirts. Heard this was an active board and thought you Sox fans would be interested.

I don't know, Penny seems like a ticking time bomb. He was extremely fortune in his last start not to give up 5 or 6 runs. They were hitting rockets off him all night, plus he isnt really missing bats whatsoever.

His health is a ticking time bomb, but as long as he is hitting 94-95 on the gun, he'll get decent results.

Honestly I'm not sold on him. I still think he might be pretty solid this year I'm just not sold on him as of yet. I have to see his stuff first and I honestly don't expect it to be spectacular I'm sure he'll be solid out of the pen but not as a starter.

Last week my girlfriend came up to visit. She flew through Atlanta and told me that a muscular man in his 40's decked out in sox garb sat near her on the flight from Atlanta to Boston. She was making fun of him saying it must have been some crazed sox fan. I asked her if it was Smoltz and she said she had no idea.
She finally looked up a picture of him this morning and told me that it was definitely him. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Hmmm, who do you demote? Beckett is back to being a beast, Lester has been hot and cold, Penny is good for a quality start most night at least lately and Wakey isnt the best pen arm due to his unpredictable nature? Right now, in my book, it is between Lester and DiceK since both of them have been off this yr and they both have been pen drains. Well, that is if you go by merit. I think Penny gets the boot in the real world though. No way Terry drops one of his "guys".
Hal sucks
Are you fucking serious? There is no way in hell Lester would ever be considered to be taken out of the rotation.

Yeah, Lester's about to go on a run.
Wake gets DL'd?
that's what I would do (if Penny doesnt get traded). he's got his shoulder issue and he's broken down the last couple of years
I think Penny will be traded shortly after June 15th. Philly if I had to make a guess.
