Don't promote Kennedy...

...yet.

I was delighted to see that IPK had nearly thrown a no-hitter in Scranton. Glad to see that he's back on our radar and making a case for a promotion to the Bronx. I'd love to see a replay of last year, when he comes up in August and makes a big impression.

But please, brass, be patient. Give him at least 2 more starts in Scranton. Let Ponson and Rasner soak up the innings for a bit longer. Let IPK build up a good head of steam. He needs to string some consecutive strong outings together before he gets the call up.

My two cents.

He'll probably get the call

When Ponson gets really shelled. It may take Ponson getting shelled twice.

Meanwhile, you’re right that he needs to swagger in. I loved the agressive, confident guy last fall. Not as thrilled with the tentative guy this spring. Although I feel he was hurt more than we know.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
