Ian Kennedy, Come on Down!

Mike Mussina is out of the rotation. For 1 start any way. The Yankees made it official last night, announcing that last year's number 1 pick, Ian Kennedy, would be starting Saturday's game vs. Tampa Bay.

Kennedy has been outstanding at 3 different levels this year, moving up along with his best friend, Joba Chamberlain. The Yankees hope he can be as successful as his pal.

Kennedy compiled a 12-3, 1.91 record with 163 strikeouts in 146.1 innings. The 22-yr old allowed only 91 hits and walked 50.
