He's capable of drawing a walk; he had a 13.2 percent rate during his minor league career and has an 8.3 number so far in the majors, and that's important for a player whose value is driven by his steals. Pennington, now 27 years old, might not have much more room for growth, and his defense is average at best, meaning he's not much of a long-term investment. But at least for this year, he's not a bad AL-only option.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":0.8,"playerRater15DAY":-2.5,"positionRank":24}
