May 19, 200520 yr You beat me to it. I just saw that. I think that Kensing isn't ready still but obviously they want him since he's already on the 40 man roster. At least there will be no more Travis Smith. Â I would have liked to see Chad Bentz or Randy Messenger myself. Good luck this time Kensing.
May 19, 200520 yr well, I'm guessing they want a guy to fill a long relief role, and Messenger and Miadich couldn't fill that role. I don't think Kensing is ready, but he probably won't pitch much and he's a much better option than Smith.
May 19, 200520 yr Author What are Kensings stats from the minors 777506[/snapback] 4-1, 3.18 ERA, 39.2 IP, 33K, 14 BBÂ at AA Carolina
May 19, 200520 yr WOOO I liked Kensing so happy to see him back I think he will do fantastic in this role.
May 19, 200520 yr There's a good chance we're showcasing Kensing to see what we can get before the trading deadline.

May 19, 200520 yr I think in a role where he will only see the lineup one time thru for the most part -- it will really benefit him. He will gain confidence and also in only being asked to pitch a couple innings rather than a starter's usual workload it will allow him to put more behind his pitches... that's why I truly feel he's going to be a great asset to this team now. I really doubt and hope it's not to showcase him.
May 19, 200520 yr Wow. What a surprise. After last season it was clear he was not yet MLB ready. I wonder why they are bringing him up ahead of Scott Olsen? It was my understanding the only reason Olsen didn't get the call last fall was due to injury.

Still Olsen is ranked higher that Kensing.

Logan has big league experience now and was pitching well at AA so why not give him some long relief work. It won't hurt him as he certainly has the right make-up to pitch in the bigs.

May 19, 200520 yr Kensing is on the 40 man roster -Olsen is not Scott Olson, while extremely talented, is very immature. Not ready for prime time yet My best guess is that Mr. Kensing is only here until Mota is ready.

May 19, 200520 yr I wish Randy Messanger was called up instead of Kensing, but oh well. Guess we don't want to rush our closer of the future :thumbup .
May 19, 200520 yr As long as Logan doesn't start any games, it's all good. 777574[/snapback] :plain  dude has skills....
