Fantasy Analysis
Penny went 11-11 last season for Detroit with a 5.30 ERA and 74 strikeouts in 31 games. He has compiled a 119-99 record and a 4.23 ERA over a 12-year major league career that included stints with Florida, the Dodgers, Boston, San Francisco and St. Louis. He developed problems with consistency toward the end of his major league career and should obviously be ignored in all Fantasy drafts for the upcoming season. (Updated 02/05/2012).
