The voice of enthusiasm at MyBlogLog, Ian Kennedy is leaving Yahoo . He talks about some of the problems Yahoo faces and makes the interesting point about comScore not counting API calls as pageviews. I enjoyed working with people who shared my passion to transform Yahoo into to a modern platform. It hasn’t been easy - opening up programmatic access to Yahoo is fraught with many built-in conflicts....

Back on October 1st, Brian Cashman was on WFAN with Mike Francesa - and Brian said something that has stuck with me for the last week now. Francesa had asked Cashman something along the lines of “Do you feel it was a mistake to count on Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, two kids, to hold down [...]

From Joel Sherman (NY Post): The White Sox’s season was saved by a pair of young pitchers who were a combined 7-18 with a 5.43 ERA a year ago. The 2008 White Sox continued to play into October because when faced with their Phil Hughes-Ian Kennedy situation in 2007, they did not punt. Instead, Chicago continued to [...]

In an otherwise laughable column about the precarious state of the Yankees — does anyone really think the Dodgers would trade Matt Kemp for “the regressing Melky Cabrera and the unphenomenal phenom Ian Kennedy”? — Portfolio writer Franz Lidz drops something of a Mike Mussina bombshell on an unsuspecting fan base. Relying an an anonymous official [...]

Whatever his motivation, Brian Cashman was dead wrong, at least for 2008. Considering how much the value of Melky Cabrera and ian Kennedy has dropped, Phil Hughes may be Cashman's only hope to validate the Johan Santana decision.

Think back to March. Everything was still unclear. Johan Santana was the Mets savior. Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy were considered the hottest young commodities in all of baseball. Cliff Lee was hanging onto his major league career by a thread. The Rays were still a year away and Elijah Dukes was busy impregnating his [...]

After pulling the Carl Pavano Special this year (pitching like crap when we wasn’t hurt), Jeff Marquez will be heading to the Arizona Fall League to make up for missed time. The Yanks still have one pitchers spot to fill, but it seems unlikely that Ian Kennedy or Chris Garcia will get the call. Maybe [...]

The possibility of a Subway Series died a well-deserved death a while back, sometime before Phil Hughes came back to continue his winless streak (he's only two behind Ian Kennedy now in the department of winless starts), and the chance for an Alligator Alley fight remains highly unlikely, despite the best efforts of the streaking Miracle Marlins. But some extremely enticing World Series matchups loom...

The Yankees' success this season was to hinge in large part on the success of their young pitchers. They were counting on at least two of the trio of Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain to pan out in the rotation.
