Howie Kendrick (2b), ANA - Hot
July 26, 2006
News: Kendrick hit his first career big league homer, and had his third multi-hit game in his past six starts, in the Angels' 15-6 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Views: Kendrick figures to develop into a .300 hitter with pop in the next two years, and he's showing signs of life in his second go-around with the club. He could prove to be a nice factor the rest of the way, and his recent play could make Adam Kennedy expendable in the trade market. Kendrick, himself, could also be a factor in any trade that they're trying to make for a real impact bat.
