Pena Breaks Another Record

by R.J. Anderson on Sep 26, 2007 9:00 PM EDT

118 RBIs breaks Jorge Cantu's record of 117 set in 2005. Also hat tip to Jim Wisinski for pointing something out, Pena went to arbitration for a season in which he spent the entirety in the minors, meaning that Pena won't be a free agent at the end of next season, but rather at the end of the 2009 season.

Congratulations to Peña

Good to see the Human Lawn Statue out of the record book.

Re: Pena Breaks Another Record

Just gotta ask why this Wisinski guy gets all the credit.

When there was a string here a month or so ago about extending Pena I said no because he'd still be under arb control after '08, and I believe in the recent discussion about Boras' media "negotiations" bobr here made the samepoint.

So who is it who thought he'd be a free agent after next season?

Oh, and congrats to Carlos. You've all pointed out what a good guy he is, and I saw it mentioned again either by one of the Yanks or Red Sox in a recent mention on mlb.com. Good for him.

Really?

I didn't see either of those, if that's the case, and I don't know why you'd lie about it, then I apologize for not realizing it then.

As for Jim, he used to write on here, back in the Naimolian days, they didn't have a competent GM you know, of course you tell that to the youngsters and they won't believe you.

Re: Pena Breaks Another Record

I thought he had a second one off Joba but Cabrera made a nice grab at the fence in dead center. Does anyone see anything in Pena's performance this year that screams fluke? I don't expect him to repeat exactly, but see nothing to suggest he cannot remain a top-notch offensive force.
