Joe Kennedy

12/20/2005

Kennedy agreed to a one-year, $2.4 million deal with the Oakland Athletics on Monday, avoiding salary arbitration. His deal allows him to earn an additional $350,000 in performance bonuses. After being acquired from Colorado in July, the southpaw went 2-5 with a 5.06 ERA in eight starts and had a 3.00 ERA in 11 relief appearances for the A's. Overall, he was 8-13 with a 6.01 ERA in 35 games. He is 35-51 with a 4.91 ERA in his career.

Kennedy will make his second straight start Thursday for injured righthander Rich Harden. The Oakland lefthander, who worked five innings and allowed one run in a win over Baltimore on August 27, will face the Angels in Anaheim on Thursday evening.

On Wednesday, the Colorado Rockies traded Kennedy and reliever Jay Witasick to the Oakland Athletics for outfielder Eric Byrnes and shortstop prospect Omar Quintanilla. Kennedy, who was headed for the Rockies' bullpen after a poor first half in the rotation, departs with a 4-8 record and 7.04 ERA in 16 starts this season.

7/12/2005

The Colorado Rockies have decided to shift Kennedy to the bullpen when they resume play after the All-Star break. The lefthander was the team's Opening Day starter this season, but he has struggled most of the year, posting a 4-8 record and 7.04 ERA in 16 outings.

Kennedy's left foot and ankle are still sore after trying to stop a grounder with his leg in his last outing. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have scratched the lefthander from his scheduled start on Wednesday, and will send Byung-Hyun Kim to the mound instead.

Kennedy is expected to be ready for his next turn in the rotation. In six starts this season, he is 1-4 with a 7.56 ERA.

5/7/2005

Kennedy was on crutches after Friday's game and is "50-50" to make his next scheduled start for Colorado. The lefthander was hit on the left ankle by a sharp grounder in the sixth inning of Friday night's game.

5/6/2005

Rockies lefthander Joe Kennedy took a sharp one-hop grounder off his left ankle in the sixth inning of Friday night's game. Kennedy limped off the mound after the play and was replaced by reliever Jay Witasik.

Look for updates on his status.
