05/02: Positive News About Yankees Pitchers
Posted by: James
The young ones, at least. Two of the more prominent ones were dealing tonight.
Tyler Clippard had his second straight strong game, going 7 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 walk while striking out 11. Hmmm, maybe his transition to AAA pitching will take a lot less time than his transition from A to AA.
Speaking of transitions, Ian Kennedy is starting to show that he'll probably be promoted soon. For those who don't know, Ian's a 22 year old starter with 3 strong seasons of college ball at USC as a pedigree. He's too advanced for most of the hitters in A ball so perhaps AA will pose more of a challenge. Though the question of who he would replace in the Trenton rotation would be an interesting one (especially if Steven Jackson continues to get hammered at AAA).
