Nashville outfielder Andrew Kennedy continues to tear the cover off the ball at the AA level, as he has at pretty much every level he has played thus far in his young career. Although Kennedy is not considered a top prospect, he is proving himself to be a very dangerous hitter and appears to be leapfrogging ahead of several other Brewer's outfield farmhands. There is even some talk that the young man may receive a September call-up to the bigs this season, though most consider this unlikely and premature. But even they concede that it won't be surprising at all to see him in a Brewer's uniform before the end of the 1968 campaign.
Plus, Kennedy is gaining a reputation as a great influence in the clubhouse and this has also elevated him in the eyes of the Brewer's brain trust.
