Kennedy Gets a Second Chance

Adam Kennedy, a former All-American at Cal State Northridge and a first-round selection by the St. Louis Cardinals last year, is back at Class-A Prince William, where the Cardinals have switched him from shortstop to second base.

Kennedy, who batted .325 in 64 games last season between New Jersey and Prince William, is being moved because of the organization’s overabundance of talented shortstops.
