I love that Joba and Kennedy are moving along together, that can be important and go under the radar. Hopefully they're good friends.
Looks like the Yanks are preparing these guys for a 2008 callup!

If he signs within the next week, he'll probably start in the Gulf Coast League, which starts June 19th.
However, I've heard rumblings that he is recovering from some injury and they may not even send him to the GCL this year and just let him recover.
He is looking like an easy sign though, and quick.
is this 20 year old switch hitting catcher realizing his potential he has 3 HRS and 4 RBI in his last 7 games
Other notables: Chris Britton went 1.2 IP allowed 3 hits, 1 ER and struck out 4, Jose Tabata finally returned from his cyst injury and went 0 for 4 , John Axford struck out 2 in 1.3 IP, Colin Curtis went 2 for 3 w/ a double, a walk and an RBI and Alberto Gonzalez went 1 for 4 w/ a double

Can't touch him, the announcers have talked about how nasty his slider has been and he got Ks on curves as well. He is amazing.
