Angels Official Website: Kendrick could be destined for DL after days off

[AngelsWin.com]

Howie Kendrick hasn't progressed steadily enough since suffering a left knee sprain Monday night, and manager Mike Scioscia indicated Friday that Kendrick will probably have to be placed on the disabled list prior to Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Of course, this team with one DL stint after another

This had better be the darkest before the dawn.

I'm guessing Green will be getting the starts, but I would love to see Green at 3B and Lindsey called up. I mean, why the F not?

Good.  I want to see what we have in Green since I feel Kendrick will be traded in the off season.

Nobody and I mean nobody could have seen this coming.

It is a little bit of a blessing in disguise. At least it happened at a time when the Angels are far away from contention.

I feel terrible for Howie though. He seems like a solid dude and he doesn't appear to make as many foolish decisions on the base paths as most of the other knuckleheads on this team do.

This.  Green is another one of those guys like Cowgill and (kind of) Calhoun who had monster minor league numbers but just weren't given legitimate chances at the major league level.  I know his defense sucks but he has bigtime potential and was a former first round pick (picked before Trout) who has just crushed the minors and has even shown a bit of speed.  I love Howie, but it will be nice to see what Green can really do.  

 

I love that we're giving people a chance lately, we put Shuck and Cowgill out there, who other teams had given up on, and they're thriving.  With us out of the race for all intents and purposes there's really no reason to not take a flyer on a few high ceiling guys.

It's one of those years. I'd rather that he get completely healthy than risk worsening it, and over what, a season that is full of doom and gloom.

Only reservation I have about Green is that I'd like to see him at 3b for the rest of the season....I wonder if that's the best spot for him with this team....unless we trade Howie in the offseason (a possibility), the obvious opening is at 3b and I'd like to see what Green can do there....but, at least he's in the lineup....if he hits, maybe he moves to 3b when Howie comes back...but maybe not...playing Cowgill over Calhoun tells me Scioscia isn't on the "play the young guys with the most potential" page, at least not yet...
