Oh my goodness.
You know why players can do well in AAA?
Because anyone who is any good is in the majors.
Look, I think Kennedy will have a Scott Kamenicki or Dave Lapoint kind of career. Serviceable. But we had a chance at the best pitcher in the game for this guy.
Now, as a GM, making a mil a year...you are supposed to be able to analyze pitching. This guy hasn't, because all he does is read scouting reports and punch in numbers. He doesn't have a feel for it. It's much easier to predict hitters than pitchers, but all it takes is number crunching. Finding pitching talent is another thing altogether.
Go check out my post about fixing up the Yankees I made last offseason. By no means am I an expert on pitching [my baseball stopped at high school], but I would have done a shitload better job than this moron.
Someone here who is a Hughes/Kennedy lover....please...enlighten me. Just what do you see about these guys you love?

Umm...isn't that what they did? I pray to God they get their chance. Next spring training. We would have been playing the Red Sox at home if we didn't blow at the beginning of the season last year. Enough with the youthful circle jerk.
