AdamLindsMom Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 He's worse than Kawasaki. No.
BigBounceyBlueBalls Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 This is not required ! AA wtf stop the madness.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 He's good defensively, and over the last two years has hit lefties decently (albeit a rather sss). I have to assume the plan is to platoon him and Goins at 2nd. Pennington also presumably gives us some speed off the bench. I'm not hugely in favor of picking him up, but I don't think it's as bad as people seem to think.

jaysfan2014 Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Not a bad move. It gives us a decent backup for Tulo at SS and Goins at 2B instead of Kawasaki. Next up, can we add another OF?
glory Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Solid defensive utility IF. Might mean Travis is hurt more than expected, though.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Solid defensive utility IF. Might mean Travis is hurt more than expected, though. He apparently is. Similar to last time, his shoulder isn't really healing. I think Sportsnet had an article about it this morning.
gbill2004 Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 He's a poor man's Martin Prado. I like this move.
nonamejays Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 He apparently is. Similar to last time, his shoulder isn't really healing. I think Sportsnet had an article about it this morning. do you think offseason surgery might help or is he just injury prone and not likely to stay healthy long term?
GreekFatAss Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 do you think offseason surgery might help or is he just injury prone and not likely to stay healthy long term? I am willing to bet that he needs to get it cleaned up with surgery but its not something he was going to do during the season because its not "serious". I hope he is able to get that done and come back 100%
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 do you think offseason surgery might help or is he just injury prone and not likely to stay healthy long term? No idea. I'd think there's probably something in there that will end up requiring surgery. This doesn't really have the feeling of injury prone to me.
gbill2004 Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 What's Pennington's contract like? Is he just a rental?
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 What's Pennington's contract like? Is he just a rental? Yes, FA next year with the Dbacks covering the remaining salary. They essentially just bought Lugo from the Jays.
gbill2004 Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Yes, FA next year with the Dbacks covering the remaining salary. They essentially just bought Lugo from the Jays. AA's beard with another shark move!
TwistedLogic Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Yes, FA next year with the Dbacks covering the remaining salary. They essentially just bought Lugo from the Jays. FA this year. He's a two-month rental.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 FA this year. He's a two-month rental. You knew what I meant.
Torontojim Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 That means Devon Travis is gone for the season which sucks big time
Torontojim Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Impossible to be worse than kawasaki
JuniorFelix Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 That means Devon Travis is gone for the season which sucks big time No it doesn't. It means they might want an option for Goins, and probably like him as depth once the rosters expand.
Atothe Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 That means Devon Travis is gone for the season which sucks big time Yankee fans smh
GreekFatAss Verified Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Now just send down Schultz for Pompey or Fields and we will have a real bench.
Dylan Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Travis is probably out till at least September
GD Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Pennington has excellent batted ball #'s.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Well, his Wikipedia page already says he plays for the Jays, so it must be official now.
