Kennedy Gone, Igawa Next?
The Yankees have optioned Ian Kennedy down to make room for Rasner. Since Kennedy has to stay in the minors for 10 days (unless the Yankees have an injury) it is safe to assume that he is out of the rotation right now and Igawa is probably going to take his place.
It's hard to argue with the move because Kennedy is a mess right now. The Yankees can send him to Scranton and hopefully he will find his control. The problem is Iggy, I just don't trust the guy but I don't think the Yankees have many other options right now in Scranton.
I am still trying to figure out why Dave Eiland has the reputation of being great with the young pitchers. I haven't seen much from him so far.

1:12 PM _ not a good way to start Rasner's triumphant return.

Was really good to see Cano and Melky hoppin and floppin around the Yankee dugout after Cano's shot. Would be nice if this were the beginning of Cano's "return". Melky looks good this year - the power they though he was missing, seems to have been found.

If/when Igawa gets bombed, I wonder who is next on the depth chart down on the farm?
Personally, Id love to see Horne get a shot if hes healthy.

That's a great question, Ian, I think it would be Dan Giese at AAA while Horne is out. The question I have is would the Yankees bring Chase Wright back from AA or consider promoting McCutchen?
