Angels to sign Kyle Kendrick

Doesn't look like Monster even managed to throw a pro-ball pitch.

Kendrick's fangraphs profile is hilarious:

 

"There was a time when Kyle Kendrick wasn't awful at baseball. That time has passed. Last season, Kendrick had one of the worst seasons in baseball history. His 6.35 FIP was the worst FIP by a pitcher who tossed 140 or more innings since Mike Moore posted a 6.39 FIP for the 1994 Detroit Tigers. Kendrick became just the eleventh pitcher to toss 140 innings and post a FIP of 6.00 or higher since Jackie Robinson integrated baseball in 1947, and the first since 2001. That the Rockies trotted him out time after time was nothing short of an embarrassment. To their credit, they declined to bring him back for a return engagement, and Kendrick has moved on to the similarly bottom feeding Atlanta Braves. Perhaps back in the National League East, which he pitched in for eight seasons with the Phillies, he won't be as big of an embarrassment, but he is not a pitcher who you should be thinking of picking up -- not even in an NL-only league. To be honest, I wouldn't even pick him up in a league where you could only draft Braves pitchers. At least some of their young guys might be fun to dream on. There's nothing fun about Kyle Kendrick.

With the Heaney news, I have a feeling that our first Kendrick sighting will be soon.

It'd be Tropeano.

[Billy_Ball]

Is he going to wear #47? (currently Bandy's ML number.)

[totdprods]

Yeah think Kendrick isn't even on an active minor league roster. He's probably at extended ST. Tropeano time!
