MLB Rumors – Washington Nationals, Houston Astros & Kansas City Royals Interested in Signing Ian Kennedy
If there’s one pitcher who could use a new team it’s Ian Kennedy, who didn’t do all that well during his time with the San Diego Padres. While not a top of the rotation kind of guy, he can be useful as the number four or five option for a number of teams, especially the Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros and Washington Nationals.

Ian Kennedy Sparks the Brawl of the Season (Diamondbacks vs Dodgers)
In order to stop special players, some pitchers resort to what people like to refer as bush-league tactics. So Ian Kennedy decided to use his talents to hit Yasiel Puig in the face with a pitch, followed by going after Zach Greinke, who is just as much to blame for the brawl that ensued, and the ejections, as the result in the game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t seem to matter anymore.

Yovani Gallardo Outpitching Ian Kennedy Means End for Diamondbacks (Brewers vs Diamondbacks)
It wasn’t like Ian Kennedy was that bad. He wasn’t superb, like most of 2011, finishing with a 21-4 record and 2.88 ERA. He wasn’t brilliant like his only start against the Milwaukee Brewers this season, shutting them down for 7 innings, allowing only 4 hits. Still, in comparison to the gem thrown by Yovani Gallardo, striking out nine in eight innings, yeah, the playoff opener for the Diamondbacks ace kinda sucked.
