News: St. Louis 2B Adam Kennedy went 2-for-4 on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. Kennedy drove in a run and is batting .274.

Analysis: Kennedy, who signed a three-year, $10 million deal in 2007, has seen his playing time decrease this season. He had 218 at-bats before the All-Star break but only 101 since then. He primarily sees starts because of his glove and remains a low-end NL-only Fantasy option. No matter where he lands next season, that won't change

Quite a day for Kennedy, who'd failed to post a multi-hit effort in any of his previous 17 contests. Despite the impressive display, the scrappy second baseman owns a pedestrian .258 average in September and remains valuable almost exclusively in NL-only leagues as the '08 campaign draws to a close.

I want to be able to play everyday." Ironically, Kennedy hit a grand slam as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cubs 12-6 Friday.
