Newsbreakers
October 6, 2009
Cliff Pennington is likely to be the A's opening day shortstop in 2010, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
Our View:
Hard to argue. The 25-year-old Pennington hit .279 in 208 at-bats this season. He remains a defensive project, however.
September 12, 2009
Cliff Pennington went 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI in the A's 4-2 win over the Twins on Saturday.
Our View:
Pennington is the team's starting shortstop for the rest of the season, but he doesn't figure to have many days like this. He isn't a huge prospect, and he shouldn't be viewed as a fantasy player this season.
August 1, 2009
The A's are handing the starting shortstop job to Cliff Pennington, MLB.com reports. He was the A's first-round pick in 2005, and he has hit .264-3-40-48-27 at Triple-A this season.
Our View:
No Bobby Crosby? Nomar? We're joking, of course. Pennington's track record suggests a guy who will hit .260 with very little power and some speed. He is worth a look in AL-only leagues, but he is not a high-upside fantasy player.
July 31, 2009
Cliff Pennington has been recalled by the A's from Triple-A Sacramento, according to the Sports Network.
Our View:
Pennington was recalled for infield depth with Orlando Cabrera traded to Minnesota. The former first-round pick could end up starting at shortstop if he performs well, and is worth acquiring as a flier for AL-only leagues.
July 21, 2009
Cliff Pennington hit his third homer of the season for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Our View:
Pennington could gain significant value in AL-only leagues over the last two months if the A's are able to find a taker for current shortstop Orlando Cabrera. Pennington, a former first-round draft choice, has excellent plate discipline (41/46 BB/K) and has been extremely efficient as a base stealer with 27 steals in 29 attempts this season.
