Yanks young guns firing blanks, Kennedy to Scranton?
2008-05-02 12:35:00 Let's see, Phil Hughes has a fractured rib to go with his 9.00 ERA. And the way Joe Girardi was talking Thursday night, Ian Kennedy may be on his way out of the rotation, perhaps all the way to Triple-A. So much for the year of the young guns wrote New York Daily News columnist John Harper. Suffice to say that turning the calendar page to May didn't brighten the outlook at the Stadium, an outlook that is becoming gloomier by the day. Kennedy wasn't terrible last night, but another short start put the burden on the bullpen, and, let's face it, that's asking for trouble. The result was an 8-4 loss to the Tigers, which completed a sweep that was all too revealing of the Yankees' problems. Right now it looks like Chien-Ming Wang will have to duplicate Ron Guidry's 25-3 season of 1978 for the Yankees to seriously contend in the AL East. Just as in the case of Hughes the other night, it's fair to ask whether Kennedy is ready to succeed in the big leagues right now. New York manage...

Notes - Scouting Report : Buffalo vs Scranton
2007-08-27 18:34:00 Notes/Scouting Report Buffalo vs Scranton, 08/23/07 Ian Kennedy One appearance in and I?m sold on Ian Kennedy. Signed by the Yankees with a dastardly above slot draft contract ($2.2 million bonus at 21st overall) in 2006, Kennedy is a product of the USC baseball program. With an ongoing battle here at the MUD over control, stuff, and success, I was interested to see how Ian rounded out, as his stuff would grade as average on a 0 ? 70 scouting scale. I do think the main difference between Kennedy & other RHP with average stuff is his control. He was consistently pounding the outside corner early in count with fastballs and he didn?t fall behind into a 2 ? 0 count until late in the 3rd inning. His fastball was primarily around 91 ? 92 and he mixed in a dropping change-up and a 75 mph-ish curve. Even with this tool set, Ian is averaging over 10 K per 9 IP. Playing in three levels this season, Kennedy has a combined 12 ? 3 record, with a 1.91 ERA, an opponent?s batting average ...
