Kennedy attributes his strong AFL (4.25 ERA, 28 K in 29 1/3 IP) to increased confidence in his two-seamer and cut fastball. Kennedy missed most of 2009 thanks to an aneurysm in his right arm. Despite his progression, it's unlikely the righty ranks any higher than sixth on the starting pitching depth chart.

The New York Post's Joel Sherman reports that New York Yankees SP Joba Chamberlain was on the verge of being optioned to the minor leagues in August due to poor performance, but was kept in the rotation because the team had nowhere to turn for viable alternatives. The Yankees felt it was too risky to have SPs Chad Gaudin and Sergio Mitre in the rotation, and manager Joe Girardi did not want to disrupt the success of the team's bullpen by removing Alfredo Aceves, Phil Coke or Phil Hughes. In addition, Ian Kennedy was recovering from aneurysm surgery at the time. Reportedly, several team officials felt Chamberlain was too comfortable in his starting role because he was not in serious jeopardy of being demoted, possibly leading to regression as a starter. However, if Chamberlain's struggles continue into next season, there is a good chance that he could spend part of the season in the minors.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes that the Yankees plan to tender a contract to Brian Bruney. After a promising showing in 2008, Bruney dealt with some elbow problems in 2009, posting a 3.92 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 36/23 K/BB ratio in 44 games, spanning 39 innings. With the bump in innings pitched, he'll likely make $1.5 million in arbitration.Source: Joel Sherman on Twitter (click again to close) | RP | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Andrew Brackman walked 10 while giving up three runs in 3 1/3 innings Tuesday for low Single-A Charleston. It's remarkable that he was left in long enough to reach double figures in walks. The 2007 first-round pick had been demonstrating decent enough command in his first year back from Tommy John surgery, with 18 walks in 50 2/3 innings for the season.
