It’s been 2 weeks since my last update, so it’s time for another edition. Ian Kennedy has been a pleasant surprise for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and his full season numbers are starting to catch up with his recent performances. As Stephen R. detailed yesterday, Matsui has been slumping and Johnny Damon has been rolling. Here’s the full list:

..and since he’s been making such a splash as the Washington National’s closer, I’m going to start tracking the progress of a player we affectionately once knew as ‘The Yankee Clippard’
G-5 ERA-0.79 IP-22.2 H-11 ER-2 BB-11 SO-15 WHIP-0.971
Tabata’s going to earn himself a call up if he keeps hitting, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in the bigs. Bruney has been mind-numbingly bad. I have a strong suspicion that A-Jax is a big candidate to regress, his sky-high BABIP is well known. Clippard was good out of the pen last year, so while he’s on a hot streak he should be continue to be good. Clippard for Alby looks like a bad deal right now.
Couldn’t be happier for IPK, who’s always been a personal fave. What’s most encouraging is that his peripherals are exactly what we saw in the minors. BB/9 are a bit high, H/9 are low and gets his SO despite not being overpowering. That’s Ian. Steve S.(Quote)
