Coming in at number eight is the Yankees first round pick in 2006, Ian Kennedy.  He had his best showing on the Baseball America list where he finished fifth and his lowest showing was tenth on John Sickels list.  He slipped to the Yankees in the first round because of a lackluster 2006 college season at Southern Cal and he made a single start at Staten Island in which he threw 2 2/3 shutout innings. 

There’s not a lot on Kennedy but we should find out a lot in 2007.  Kevin Goldstein expects him to start the season in Tampa, and if he plays well enough, you should expect to see him at Double A at some point during the season.
