estrada and phillips are options i am thinking about. should i wait it out or should i pick up one of the options.
Grab a scrub and bench Kendall. He still has time and upside to have value. I'd bench him right now (which I've been doing). For me, he's got a least to the All-Star break to get unfunkyfied.
Don't expect his recent 10 steals. Won't happen. His caught-stealing rate is way too high for a team like the A's to send him often.
That having been said, he has been a huge second-half player the past two years, batting in the .320s after the break.
I say he is still adjusting to the new league. If you can find a suitable waiver replacement, you could certainly bench him now, but I advise against dropping him outright.

Yes, I am trying to do the same thing. In my one 10 team league I managed to get Ramon Hernandez off the WW. Hopefully he can fill in until Kendall starts to figure it out.

in my 12-team mixed-league keeper, i dropped him for phillips...whom i might drop for hall. too many catchers that hit for average to be sitting on kendall as if he were the golden egg.
Kendall will come around. He is too good a hitter to just suck all the sudden. give him time and he will get comfortable and then look out. Benching him for now is prolly the best bet
In real life baseball im surprised kendall hasen't been dealt to the mets for piazza since isnt he piazza in the fianl year of his contract?
Piazza , diaz, and met prospects for dotel, kendall
