Ideally we'd like to still have Kenny in the organization. He had a good season last year. Other pitchers are ahead of him at this point. We needed to create a roster spot.
Our scouts thought he could hit at a big league level because he swung a good bat and had a good command of the strike zone.
To me, not only is he a good player, but he's a quality person. He's a guy you win championships with.
It's an inexact science. That's why you need to have a system that's consistently producing good prospects.
It works out well - Lou lives in Lakeland, and he's a great Tiger. He's worked hard on the field for us and has done a good job in spring training.

The Central might be the best now. But that's potentially a good thing for a team that's trying to develop a consistency day in and day out.
