Notes: Hayden Penn, Ramon Vazquez, Indianapolis Indians

A few Saturday afternoon notes as I catch up from the last few days: -Hayden Penn has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to AAA by the Pirates.  However, Penn has until Monday to accept the assignment, or to elect to become a free agent.  The reason for this is because this is the second time Penn has been designated for assignment and outrighted to the minors.  Any player...

Thanks For The Memories, Hayden Penn

With four of the five relieves from 2009 not returning this season, one of GM Neal Huntington’s on-going projects this off-season was the reconstruction of the Pirates bullpen.  It came as no surprise then when the Bucs claimed reliever Hayden Penn from the Florida Marlins just days before the season started. It’s a finely honed technique called throw-enough-things-at-the-wall...

Marlins Trade For Penn

The Marlins traded second baseman Robert Andino to the Orioles for pitcher Hayden Penn. Both Penn and Andino have long term upside, so it will be interesting to see how they adjust to the change. Both players were out minor league options, so it's safe to say that both Penn and Andino will make their respective Opening Day rosters. This story was approved by MLB Rumors.

Hayden Penn Struggles in Season Debut

I didn't see this coming. Hayden Penn made his long awaited season debut against the Athletics on Sunday and gave up 8 runs in 2/3 of an inning. In 14 starts at Triple-A this year, Penn had a 2.27 ERA and 85 K's in 87.2 IP. The 21 year-old still has a ton of long term potential and despite the terrible outing he might still be able to help fantasy owners down the stretch. His...
