A couple days after recommending him as a prime buy-low candidate in my amNew York story, Kendrick was shipped to Triple-A Salt Lake to work on his swing. On a side note, is there a better place to send a young player to focus on his game than Salt Lake City? There is absolutely nothing else fun to do, unless you consider barreling down a mountain and dodging trees on slick, awkward sleds attached to your feet “fun.”
Anyway, the option to the Minors might enhance Kendrick’s buy-low value. If an owner hadn’t given up on him before, there’s a good chance his exasperation has now worn thin. In fact, don’t be surprised to see Kendrick widely available on free agent lists.
