He's been raking so far in AA this season and has a .433 OBP. If anything, the Brewers should be looking to move Ryan Braun who's blocking LaPorta's spot.

You've been saying that for days, and no one's found any trace of this being something other than a figment of your imagination. Anyway, how do you know how IPK's confidence is doing? Are you his shrink? Can you actually give us some real evidence that Matt LaPorta is available?

Kennedy pitches tomorrow, which means he won't be ready to pitch on Friday with full rest. Problem: Scranton’s game was also rained out.

Just means that Igawa wouldn't start Wednesday; we would still need a fifth on Friday. Literally. Sounds good, but it doesn’t really do anything.
