Latest news and rumors on Howie Kendrick Contract Negotiations updated 13 hours ago
CBSSports.com Fantasy Howie Kendrick's sixth home run of the season Tuesday against the Royals was justification enough for me to move him up my rankings. But the Angels second baseman is still only 15th at the weak second base position. Quite simply, I don't think he's this much of a home run hitter. Granted, he's not the guy who hit only eight last year either, but even the 18 he piled up in 2011 might be beyond his reach. He just doesn't hit the ball in the air enough to make it possible. To achieve the six he's had so far, he's needed a home run-to-flyball rate of 21.4 percent, by far the highest of his career....

Halos Heaven I gave up on the season yesterday. This team is shot to sheet and needs a thorough rebuilding. Here is who we cannot trade: Josh Hamilton - Full No-Trade Clause Jered Weaver - Full No-Trade Clause Albert Pujols - Full No-Trade Clause C.J. Wilson - No Trade thru 2013.

Halos Heaven The Angels are back home looking to keep the May victories coming. Erick Aybar - SS leads off Mike Trout - CF bats second Albert Pujols - 1B in the field despite the allegedly sore feet Mark Trumbo - DH batting cleanup Josh Hamilton - RF batting fifth Howie Kendrick - 2B is the sixth hitter, which you could philosophically consider to be the two-out cleanup hitter. Hank Conger - C which indicates that Mister Iannetta really took a kick in that nineteen inning game (yest, it really happened, no you did not dream it). Brendan Harris - 3B but Callaspo looms nearby in San Bernadino J.B. Sh...

Halos Heaven The Angels bats blasted out three solo home runs among the five runs they scored in Oakland and the bullpen tried to give them all back and almost succeeded, falling short with two on in a 5-4 game when the Athletics made their final out. Howie Kendrick got the scoring going with a solo home. Mike trout and Mark Trumbo followed later on with solo shots. C.J. Wilson scattered six hits and five walks far enough apart to only yield two runs but after 123 pitches his arm probably made it back to the team hotel and was tucked into bed before the rest of the squad hit the showers. Reliever...
