Ha!
the Brewers announced they had agreed in principle to terms with Kendall, a 33-year-old coming off an uncharacteristically poor offensive year with the A's and Cubs.
He's been in decline for a few years now. It's not as though he went from a .900 OPS to where he is in a year. The writing's on the wall with Kendall.
It's on the bathroom wall
and it ain't flattering.
Uncle Leo!
"HELLOOOOO, Jerry."
Seriously, what does this guy do anymore? He couldn't throw out Rosie O'Donnell in leg irons, he's a horrible hitter, and has zero pop. He's a candidate for early retirement or Japan (if they'd take him). I guess one good thing about him is he can open a serious can of whoopass.

Kendall > Estrada
Estrada had a OBP of .293, IIRC. Also even worse at throwing out runners, very out of shape aka fat too. It was also somewhat of a clubhouse cancer, even during the season many thought. Good riddance for the Brewers...more of addition by subtraction. Sure Kendall is over the hill, but its a 1 year deal and he brings more to the table...he can at least get on base at an ok rate, is one of those "good clubhouse" guys and will surely call a better game than Johnny E. With the Brewers lineup they don't need power from the catcher, just get your but on for the others to hit him in. Just my 2 cents. The Brewers will be happy with this deal by the end of 08' I think. Melvin hasn't made many mistakes as GM for the Brewers.
