Adam Kennedy On Dodgers' Radar

PrintThe Dodgers are getting closer to rounding out their bench for 2012, reportedly near a deal with infielder Adam Kennedy, per Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles. As Jackson notes, "Length and terms of the deal weren't immediately available," though it would be rather shocking if Kennedy got more than a one-year deal.
Kennedy made $750,000 with the Seattle Mariners last year after signing a minor-league contract before the season.
The Dodgers would be the fifth team in five seasons for Kennedy, who hit just .234/.277/.355 for Seattle in 2011. He would likely be the primary left-handed hitting infielder off the bench for the Dodgers in 2012, playing second base and third base as needed. A second baseman by trade, Kennedy started all over the infield for Seattle last year, starting 34 games at second base, 24 games at third base, and even 23 games at first base.
Kennedy was once a terrific defensive second baseman, though time will tell if he still is entering his age 36 season. Kennedy was rated as an above average defender, at least at second base, by both Ultimate Zone Rating and Total Zone Rating in three of the last five years, and subpar in both 2007 and 2009.
Kennedy's finest hour on the field was Game 5 of the 2002 ALCS, when he hit three home runs to lead the Angels over the Twins for the American League pennant. His finest hour off the field just might be this guest appearance on the television show She Spies:

I disliked Kennedy for years because he was the prize for trading Edmunds. Always thought he was over-rated back when I did not care much about defense during the steroid era.
Now, I’m glad he’s on our bench and I have no idea why.

I was too young to pay close enough attention to the trade
so he had a chance to grow on me before I found out he is what they traded edmonds for
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
He makes Mark Ellis look good?
He might be slightly better than Aaron Miles? Which would be more comforting if he was here to be the new Miles and not the New Jamey Carroll.

Nothing is more impressive to a nation then how an old president takes a bullet and keeps on ticking.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Wasn’t president yet, but Teddy Roosevelt:
Before a campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Theodore Roosevelt, the presidential candidate for the Progressive Party, is shot at close range by saloonkeeper John Schrank while greeting the public in front of the Gilpatrick Hotel. Schrank’s .32-caliber bullet, aimed directly at Roosevelt’s heart, failed to mortally wound the former president because its force was slowed by a glasses case and a bundle of manuscript in the breast pocket of Roosevelt’s heavy coat—a manuscript containing Roosevelt’s evening speech. Schrank was immediately detained and reportedly offered as his motive that “any man looking for a third term ought to be shot.”
.
Roosevelt, who suffered only a flesh wound from the attack, went on to deliver his scheduled speech with the bullet still in his body. After a few words, the former “Rough Rider” pulled the torn and bloodstained manuscript from his breast pocket and declared, “You see, it takes more than one bullet to kill a Bull Moose.” He spoke for nearly an hour and then was rushed to the hospital.
Couldn't get
Teddy reelected tho

Yep, Lateral Moves R Us :/
Defensively the new pair when put together is probably an upgrade, just because Miles was so crappy, especially at 3rd, and with very little range. Offensively, not an upgrade, except for Ellis having a bit more pop than the others.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I say defense is roughly a wash. Kennedy is better than Miles and is probably a slightly better unnatural 3B, but Carroll turned out to be someone you didn’t mind being a fill-in SS and I wouldn’t let Ellis or Kennedy near that position.

Yes. They were one of the best teams in the nation the entire year and were #1 when they were undefeated and around 17-0 (working off memory here so I could be way off).
They’ve got, arguably, the best player in the country this year and a decent enough supporting cast around him to win it all. If Buford ever turns into the talent people thought he was 4 years ago then this team could be very hard to beat.
Their arena is also underrated in terms of how tough it is to play in. I went to a game there around 7 years ago and was shocked at how loud the place was for what wasn’t that great of a team.
Thanks
they are ranked #2 right now and just beat #4 Duke by like 20 points

What I remember about Adam Kennedy
from his Angels playing days was saying to my dad every time I watched him hit, “how can that guy hit at the major leagues with that huge of an upper cut?” Somehow, he kind of did. Well, at least back then. And remember, I said “kind of”. :)
dude had 2500 plate appearances of 750 ops
good enough for 98 ops+ for the angels. I would say the guy could hit. No kinda about it.

Assistant Professor of the Classics
Colgate University
The Department of the Classics at Colgate University invites applications for a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning fall semester 2012. The department seeks applicants with training and experience in the teaching of Latin and Greek at all levels. A research interest in Latin literature is preferred.
The successful candidate will be expected to bring philological expertise to a department that places high emphasis on the languages and also plays a major role across the curriculum through courses in translation.
He/She will also be expected to participate in all-university programs, including the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum.
The teaching load is five courses per year. Colgate is a highly-selective liberal arts university of 2800 students situated in central New York. Colgate faculty are committed to excellence in both teaching and scholarship.

Yurrr?
Dilbeck sez Larry King is a minority investor.
King has agreed to participate as a minority investor in Dennis Gilbert’s bid to buy the Dodgers, a person familiar with the bidding process confirmed Tuesday.
King and Gilbert each hold season tickets in the dugout club at Dodger Stadium, although King had said he would not renew because McCourt charged hundreds of dollars per ticket and “instead of bidding on any free agent, spent the money on himself.” McCourt since has agreed to sell the Dodgers.
