Newsbreakers

September 24, 2009

Adam Kennedy had another big day at the dish on Thursday as the A' pounded the Rangers 12-3. Kennedy went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, and an RBI in the win.

Our View:

Kennedy has been up and down all season, and he is getting hot again as the season wears down. He has given his career a shot in the arm, and he looks like a completely different player than he was in St. Louis.

September 20, 2009

Adam Kennedy had a huge day at the dish for the A's on Sunday in their rout of the Indians. Kennedy went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, a run scored, and three RBI in the 11-4 win.

Our View:

Kennedy has had a very nice 2009 season, and after being discarded by the Cardinals in the offseason, he has experienced a rebirth in the bay area. He has struggled at times, but overall Kennedy has been very productive this year.

September 2, 2009

Adam Kennedy was productive in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Royals at McAfee Coliseum, as he went 2-for-5 with an RBI. Both of his hits were singles.

Our View:

Kennedy was in need of a solid performance, as he only had one hit over his previous three games (13 at-bats). He is off to a good start in September after hitting .224 in August.

August 22, 2009

Adam Kennedy was 3-for-5 and scored the game winning run for the A's on Saturday as Oakland beat the Tigers 3-2. Kennedy is hitting .282 on the season.

Our View:

Kennedy scored on a Kurt Suzuki single in the bottom of the ninth, and he was the offensive catalyst for the team tonight. Kennedy continues his surprising 2009 campaign, and he hasn't slowed much this season.

August 1, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in tonight's 6-5 loss to Toronto at McAfee Coliseum.

Our View:

Kennedy is riding an eight-game hitting streak, and tied his season-high with three RBI in a game tonight. He continues to fit in very well in the AL with Oakland since being shipped out of St. Louis.

July 30, 2009

The A's are not likely to trade Adam Kennedy before Friday's non-waivers trading deadline, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

The paper says the team is actually thinking of resigning him for next season instead. After a disappointing two year tenure in St. Louis, Kennedy is batting .296 in Oakland this season, and has driven in 38 runs.

July 6, 2009

Adam Kennedy led the A's offensively in tonight's 6-0 win at Boston, as he went 3-for-5 with two RBI. All three of his knocks were singles, and he also swiped a base.

Our View:

Kennedy has a hit in four straight games, and stole a base in each of his last two. He should remain active in fantasy lineups.

June 21, 2009

Adam Kennedy had another huge night at the plate for the A's on Saturday as they defeated the Padres 6-3. Kennedy went 4-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI in the win.

Our View:

Kennedy continues to surprise the fantasy world, and owners should start to take him seriously as an option at second base. He is hitting .312 on the year, and is a solid play in all leagues at this point.

June 11, 2009

Adam Kennedy carried the A's offensively in Thursday's 4-3 win over Minnesota at McAfee Coliseum, as he went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer.

Our View:

Kennedy has two RBI in two of his last three games, and has proven to be a nice acquisition for the A's middle infield. He is hitting .328 for the season, and hit .390 in the month of May.

June 10, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Twins at McAfee Coliseum. Both of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

The A's scored five runs, but only had five hits in the game. Kennedy raised his season average to .336 and now has 19 RBI over 30 games.

June 4, 2009

For the fourth straight game, A's second basemen Adam Kennedy did not collect a hit on Thursday.

Our View:

After seeing his average rise as high as .441 on May 25, Kennedy has steadily seen it drop. It currently rests at .333. If you had been riding the Kennedy wave, it now appears that it is finally time to get off.

May 31, 2009

Adam Kennedy capped his excellent May with his best game yet against Texas on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, the second breaking up a tied game in the top of the ninth and ending up as the game-winning hit.

Our View:

Kennedy was shipped out of St. Louis in the offseason after demanding everyday playing time, and it's looking like he may have had a case. He didn't get to the field for Oakland until May 9 but is hitting .390 with four home runs, 15 RBI and five stolen bases through 82 at-bats in the the three weeks since. There's no way he maintains this pace, but that type of production simply cannot be ignored from second base and he's worth picking up and riding out for now until he falls back down to earth.

May 29, 2009

Adam Kennedy continues to baffle baseball pundits. He was 3-for-4 on Friday and now has his average up to .408.

Our View:

Kennedy has seven doubles, two homers and 13 RBI to go along with his ridiculously high batting average. The A's have no choice but to keep him in the lineup while he's this hot and he could become a permanent fixture at second. No one knows where this is coming from, but Kennedy could be a starting second baseman in mixed leagues with the way he's playing right now.

May 25, 2009

Adam Kennedy was 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in the leadoff role as the A's defeated the Mariners 6-1 on Monday. He has five stolen bases through 15 games.

Our View:

Kennedy has been incredible since joining the A's. He is hitting .441 with 13 RBI through 15 games. If he continues to be a run producer and a capable leadoff hitter, he could permanently supplant Mark Ellis as the second baseman. Kennedy is certainly worth a short term fix at second base in AL-only formats.

May 24, 2009

Adam Kennedy was 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over Arizona.

Our View:

Kennedy is now hitting a cool .400 on the season and is quickly become a worthy fantasy second baseman. He didn't play in April, but has been white hot in May since coming to the A's and is worth a roster spot in AL-only leagues (at least) until he cools off.

May 21, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in the A's 6-5 loss to the Rays on Thursday.

Our View:

Kennedy has hit very well since coming over the the A's in early May. He's hitting .386 with a homer and seven RBI and has worked himself into consideration in AL-only leagues.

May 17, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-7 loss at the Tigers. He hit two singles and a solo homer, his first of the season.

Our View:

Kennedy started the game at second base, and is hitting very well as of late, as he has seven hits over his last 15 at-bats (four games).

May 9, 2009

Adam Kennedy has been recalled by the A's from Triple-A Sacramento, according to MLB.com. Infielder Gregorio Petit was sent down to Sacramento as the adjoining move.

Our View:

Kennedy should see some action in the A's infield with Mark Ellis, Nomar Garciaparra and Eric Chavez all on the DL. He is worth consideration for deeper AL-only leagues.

May 8, 2009

According to AOL Fanhouse, the Rays have traded infielder Adam Kennedy to the Oakland A's for a player to be named later. He has been assigned to Triple-A Sacramento.

Our View:

This move was made for insurance purposes and a possible quick fix due to the A's being decimated by injuries recently. Kennedy gives them depth on the infield after Nomar Garciaparra, Mark Ellis and Eric Chavez all went down. Kenndey won't have any fantasy cred, but could help out a struggling A's team. He was hitting .280 at Triple-A Durham before the move.

April 1, 2009

The St. Petersburg Times reports that Adam Kennedy will not make the opening day roster. He figures to start the season at Triple-A Durham. Kennedy seems to have expected this outcome all along and called his spring "real productive".

Our View:

The second baseman had a solid spring as he hit .302 over 53 at-bats. He also put together an .808 OPS. He holds no fantasy value as long as he is in the minors, but he still figures to be the Rays' insurance against an Akinori Iwamura injury.

March 25, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 1-for-2 with a two run home run for the Rays in their 4-2 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Our View:

Kennedy is still adjusting to his new team and league after his release by St. Louis. He is a solid bench player with limited fantasy value due to his reserve role with the Rays.

February 26, 2009

Adam Kennedy went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees. He started at second and batted leadoff.

Our View:

Kennedy was a solid veteran addition to the Rays, but his fantasy value looks to be limited as a likely reserve.

February 17, 2009

Adam Kennedy signed a minor-league contract with the Rays, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Our View:

Kennedy offers a very safe and reliable player for the Rays. He does not have much fantasy value, if any at all, until his role is defined. Most likely he will be just a bench player for the Rays.

February 9, 2009

Adam Kennedy has been released by the Cardinals, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The club assumes his $4 million salary for 2009.

Our View:

Brendan Ryan, Brian Barden, Tyler Greene, Joe Thurston, Jarrett Hoffpauir and converted outfielder Skip Schumaker are the current front-runners for the starting role at second base. Ryan leads the group with 377 major-league at-bats over parts of two campaigns with the Cardinals. The club could still make a move for free agent Orlando Hudson.
