Kennedy Likely To Start Saturday

From Rotoworld:
The Yankees will call up Ian Kennedy to start Saturday in place of Joba Chamberlain, sources told Suzyn Waldman of WCBS.

Kennedy would likely have a chance of sticking in the rotation once Chamberlain returns, but he'll have to perform well.
For AAA Scranton Kennedy is 4-2 with a 2.14 ERA, and in 46.1 IP he's allowed 29 hits, 11 earned runs, walked 13 and struck out 38.

Hopefully he can give the Yanks a lot more than he did in April when he went 0-3 with a 7.41 ERA.

  1. - Arod hits into 3 double plays.
    - Jeter is 2nd in the AL for most times hit into double plays.
    - The bullpen has fallen apart for some reason.
    - 3 Starting pitchers now hurt.
    - Pettite cant seem to get back into his rythum.
    - Pudge isnt doing so well with the pitching staff.
    - Theres actual talk of a Pavano return.
    - Yankee pitching cant seem to get the 3rd out in an inning anymore.
    - Melky + Christian = useless bats.
    - Difficult schedule for the final 49 games.
    - 6.5 games back of the AL East.
    - 3.5 games back of the Wild Card.
    - 6 more games against the Angels in LA.
    - Only 19 home games left all season.
    - Mo's back is bothering him.

    Add all that up and it spells disaster. I had conceding the season but come on....its not looking bright right now.
