Kendrick? I'd love to have him on the Cubs. Are you watching him flail at junk? Certainly not in the playoffs, you wouldn't want him. He's a prospect. He's only 24 and has put up some pretty solid numbers. He didn't look good there though, I'll give you that. He's 25 actually, and he's not very willing to take walks. His OBP is VERY average dependent. Again, no, thanks. Guys that have a tendency to swing at junk like that.....do we really see many of them "grow" into patient, well-disciplined hitters? I don't know the real stats on that, but I don't seem to see it happen very often. Free swingers are free swingers from what I see. They don't have a good batting eye, so they swing at too much. How do you learn that at 25 when you didn't learn it since you were a teenager, or before? Well, you're probably right there. He may not be exactly what the Cubs need, but I don't think he's an awful player. Of course, he's a 2B and we really don't need anymore of those.
