This was before his last start, but his numbers are still concerning.
This also goes for fantasy owners who took a flier on Brad Penny, but he has been awful this year and it has little to do with bad luck. His K/BB right now stands at 0.55, which is horrifically bad. His K/9 has dropped every year since 2006 and has started 2009 with a 3.06 in 17.2 IP. His sample size is still small, but he has yet to top 2 strikeouts in any game. His groundball numbers are good so he could be passable if he improves some in his control, but fantasy value will be limited without strikeouts.
