This kid is what, like 25 or 26 and in his third season. Now given, he has been inconsistent, but the Rays threw him in as the number one starter in his second season. Let the kid mature a little. Worst off they want to trade him for some prospects. If this truly happens, I will never watch, read, or listen to anything having to do with the Rays again. How long does ownership expect us to wait for a competetive team? I mean whats next, trading Baldelli for prospects. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to build around someone, this kid seems like a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talk about building their team from there minor league teams then trade away the ones that actually have a shot at having a career. It doesn't make any sense. they shot the wad on over the hill vets and now keep putting up and coming rooks on the trading block. I don't think Lou will allow this to happen to often if they want him to stay as coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you trade him now, when other teams think he has potential?Do you trade him later, when he's nothing more than a proven #3-4 starter?Do you keep him, and mold him to be your 3-4th starter?

Even if he turns out to be a #3 or #4 starter, its better than a prospect who could turn out to be another Abernathy or Josh Hamilton. And if given time, Kennedy could turn out to be an ace. You have to start somewhere. Kennedy, Huff, Crawford and Baldelli make a nice core for the DRays to start. Im just hoping they dont throw that away.
