Apparently the promotion was made official yesterday.
He deserved it on merit but I honestly thought he'd be held back because of a couple factors -- mostly because there's no real rush seeing how young Kelly is, and also because it makes the concept of Kelly playing shortstop again logistically difficult.
Of course, if Kelly's going to put up numbers like these, we may never WANT him to play SS again, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Shortstop is clearly still in Kelly's plans at least, he does have some upside there, and he's still a fair ways from the majors as a pitcher with a lot that can still go wrong.
Still, nice to see good work rewarded.
