IAN KENNEDY RUMORS & GOSSIP

Chavez, Kennedy allow D-backs clean getaway

PHOENIX -- The Diamondbacks did enough things well in their 5-3 victory over the Braves on Wednesday afternoon that the clubhouse chatter afterward included talk about wifi reception and the availability of Pandora on their evening charter flight to Miami. A stuffed kangaroo with a lucha libre mask sat in Eric Chavezs locker stall, and all was right with the world. The D-backs...

Struggles continue for D-backs' Kennedy

SAN DIEGO -- Ian Kennedy barreled through the Padres' lineup without his best stuff Sunday, so close to escaping trouble that it made the Diamondbacks' 5-1 loss that much more frustrating. After going 17 straight batters without giving up a hit, Kennedy hung changeups for home runs to two consecutive batters in the sixth inning, and that was that. Thats what sucks about...

D-backs' Kennedy gets himself into 'Trouble'

Many major leaguers take some time before each season to contemplate and then select a walk-up song to play each time they come to the plate -- the perfect song to get them pumped up and in the mood to hit. Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ian Kennedy is not among them. He left the decision to someone else: team president and CEO Derrick Hall's 11-year-old daughter, Kylie. Her...

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- No matter how many times he gets to do it, Diamondbacks pitcher Ian Kennedy insists starting on Opening Day will never lose its luster. D-backs manager Kirk Gibson confirmed Kennedy as his Opening Day starter Monday, and Kennedy said Tuesday it was still a thrill when Gibson told him. "It never gets old," Kennedy said.

Six things you might not know about Ian Kennedy

Ian Kennedy had some real pretty numbers in 2011 and some less pretty numbers in 2012. Even so, Kennedy's 2012 season ended on a high note and he finished at 15-12 to give him a two year win-loss record of 36-16, which again looks very pretty. Those 36 wins are the fourth most in baseball over those two combined season. But, of course, we all know that the win-loss statistic...

Kennedy coming around at right time

PHOENIX -- The highlight of pitcher Ian Kennedy's performance Monday night had to be his base-loaded, three-run triple with two outs in the fourth inning. It was the first triple of his career and put the Diamondbacks ahead of the Rockies.
