Ian Kennedy has been promoted to AA Trenton. It's too bad they don't have many position prospects to make that Trenton lineup a little more interesting.

Although Franklin hasn't been notified, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman said during a Sunday radio interview that right-handed starter Ian Kennedy, 22, has been promoted to the Thunder.

Kennedy, the 21st selection in the first round of the 2006 draft out of USC and the No. 6 prospect in the organization according to Baseball America, was 6-1 with a 1.29 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 63 innings for Tampa.

With one or two more good starts, I'm sure Joba will be right behind him.
