Player Notes
July 26, 2009
The St. Louis Cardinals have optioned reliever Josh Kinney to Triple-A Memphis, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Derrick Goold. In a corresponding move, the team recalled pitcher Blake Hawksworth from Memphis.

Our View:Kinney has a 10.95 ERA in 12.1 innings pitched this season, so he will not be missed in the St. Louis pen. He has not been the same pitcher he used to be since returning from injury, and it is starting to look like Kinney's days may be numbered in the St. Louis bullpen.

Josh Kinney will inherit the recently traded Chris Perez's seventh and eighth inning type roles, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Kinney has an 8.59 ERA in 7.1 innings pitched this season, and hasn't shown that he can be effective yet in 2009. Wait to see if he can nail down this role and pitch effectively before considering adding him in leagues with middle relievers.

Josh Kinney has been recalled from Triple-A Memphis according to John Marecek of KTRS.

Our View:Kinney has a 13.50 ERA in three games for the Cardinals this season. Obviously, his numbers should get better with more appearances, but he still has no business being owned in any format.
April 17, 2009
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals have optioned Josh Kinney to Triple-A Memphis to make room for Friday's starter, P.J. Walters.

Our View:Kinney has struggled thus far in 2009, giving up four runs in just 2.2 innings. He needs to get himself right in Memphis before he is ready to contribute in St. Louis.
February 4, 2009
Pitching coach Dave Duncan believes Josh Kinney could play a key role in the Cardinals' bullpen this season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Kinney fared well in the 2006 playoffs, but unfortunately blew out his elbow and missed all of 2007 and most of 2008.

Our View:He has retained his velocity and command of his pitches, and Duncan is excited about him, which could be part of the reason the club did not re-sign Russ Springer. Kinney is worth a look as a flier in deeper leagues that feature middle men.
