Cane my man. Cane...Nope. They actually train seeing eye dogs near me. Fun to see them practicing. I have to remind myself not to ask to pet them. Hard to do.

I would say if he hits .270/.320./.400 he will have a nice career as a 4th OF type somewhere but he isnt good enough to stick in Boston.

This weeks roto geek Nava article depicting him as the #1 selection on the "All Joy" team.

At least someone else is smitten by this kid who is hitting just North of .300 with a bunch of doubles and RBI's but too many K's

That was written in January. While Nava even being the bigs is due to an unusually high number of injuries to Red Sox outfielders, it nonetheless looks like a nice call by the author.

Phillies optioned RHP Kyle Kendrick to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Monday's seven-run drubbing against the Cardinals was the last straw. Kendrick will head to the Triple-A level having posted a 5-4 record, a 4.82 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP over 108 1/3 big-league innings (18 starts). The Phillies have called up Andrew Carpenter to take Kendrick's place.

Kendrick has a decent slider, basically his only good pitch. When he hits his spots and throws low, he's an alright pitcher.

His problem is consistancy. The word is not in his vocabulary. I will admit I was really pissed last night when he gave up 3 home runs in one inning.

Trade may be brewing...

No way that Carpenter is being called up to be a starter long term

Kendricks problem is that he simply doesnt have much stuff. He made it this far with one pitch which is pretty amazing really. If the sinker aint sinking he has nothing else that can get major leagers out and you see outings like last nights where he was throwing 84mph pitches right down the middle.

The fairy tale over for now. My boy got a ticket to AAA Pawtucket after the Sox lost Wednesday afternoon. Too many punch outs did him in. At 27 he's not likely done but there aren't many outfielders with doubles power and high OBP in the bigs that stick. There was something clutch about the kid that may yet be something to build on but to be honest the guys who played when he sat didn't impress much either. I'll be surprised if he's had his last AB in the show.

He will probably wind up sticking somewhere as a 4th or 5th outfielder type because he can hit.

Just when all hope was lost.....

Moyer headed to DL with elbow injury, Phillies to recall Kendrick, Happ

randallscott35 · #73 07-24-2010, 07:25 PM

Wait did he just beat the best pitcher in the major leagues today? Yes that would be correct. WOW

I was there (sweating my balls off), but Jimenez was just brutal. Couldn't find the zone (looked like both pitchers were being squeezed) and was falling behind everyone. Then he would put it over the plate and get hammered. Then after the Phills big 7 run inning which seemed like it took about an hour with the Rocks melting out in the field, it seemed like they mailed it in from there on in.
But I guess Kendrick deserves some credit, he did pitch well and never was in any serious trouble.
