IAN KENNEDY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Player Profile #68: Ian Kennedy | SP | ARI

We’re all surprised at just about every facet of Ian Kennedy‘s 2011 stat line, but, personally, I was shocked at how good his 2010 numbers were, too. He didn’t win 21 games or post an ERA under 3.00 like he did last season, but his 1.20 WHIP was pretty good and I’ll always take a chance on a pitcher with a .223 OBA over 194 innings. With two back-to-back useful...

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Ian Kennedy on radar after superb 2011 season

Kennedy might have opened eyes during a breakout 2011 season, but the element of surprise won't be in play this year -- not for Kennedy or the Diamondbacks as a whole.

Ian Kennedy Player Projection No. 95

Key Stats: Look past the 21 wins he accumulated in 2011. Instead look at a pitcher who is 27 years old, who not only post a career high in Wins, but decreased his BB/9 by over 1 and his ERA by almost a run from the previous year. He increased his K/9 and the percentage of ground balls he gave up. Not only did he also proceed to give up less fly balls, but his HR/FB ratio dropped...

Ian Kennedy is for real

Kennedy went from top Yankee prospect to bust in just 2 years. (NY Daily News) The Yankees were looking to acquire Curtis Granderson. They knew they would have to trade top prospect Austin Jackson, but that wouldn’t be enough. So they were willing to trade Ian Kennedy, a former 1st round pick who had missed nearly the entire 2009 season with an aneurysm and bombed when given...

Kennedy pitches D-backs past Bucs, 1-0

Just below a sign that said ''We Believe,'' a speaker blared Journey's ''Don't Stop Believin''' across Arizona's clubhouse. A setup? Possibly. Either way, there's not much doubt in these Diamondbacks. Ian Kennedy pitched eight dominant innings to become the NL's first 20-game winner, Justin Upton hit a broken-bat homer and...

Why Can't Ian Kennedy Win the Cy Young Award?

Uh oh. In a week that has seen writers all over the country converging on this post over at It's About the Money Stupid, it is with fear and trembling that this writer (with far less sabermetric chops than that person) writes this post. But this post is basically in response to a post by David Brown over at Big League Stew that states emphatically that Ian Kennedy has no business...

Ian Kennedy grows into a candidate to win 20

PHOENIX Ian Kennedy always considered 20 victories a nice, round number. Then he got older. "When you are a little kid, you think 20 games that's what the best guys do. You think that's possible. But then after you grow up a little bit and you realize how hard it is, it's kind of not a realistic goal," Kennedy said. It is certainly realistic now. Kennedy...
