Tom Verducci has an article about 7 young pitchers who are in danger of injury due to being overpitched.
Ian Kennedy tops the list because he pitched 61 more innings than his 2006 total. But if we look at BP's new sabermetrics: addition and subtraction (corresponding with + and -, respectively) we see that he's actually fine at 30.2 innings over 2006.
I guess Verducci forgot to include the HWL innings and then tried to cover his ass by saying that those innings don't really count. Apparently, you have to throw with your off-hand in Hawaii to appease the lava gods.
