His peripherals are why I expect him to regress next season.

I can’t see Kendrick getting anything but better. He was great last year and I don’t know why we would expect anything less.

The only thing that I note on Kyle is his lack of Ks for a “power pitcher;” if that were the original expectations for him. I think that MAYBE some more weight and strength is needed…so hitting the plus diet and the gym could do him well…I think. If he doesn’t develop those areas, I think he’ll be viewed as a future reliever for lack of Ks plus command.

I kind of noted that he’ll probably end up on the 40 man roster either way, but if he wants to be a positive contributor at the big league level, he’s really going to need a big season in 2007, as he’s been a slow developer.

Kendrick had a good enough 2006 that I don’t see how 2007 can be considered make or break. If he’s merely decent, he’ll get another year.
