Howie Hendrick

Does anyone have predictions of what to expect from him when he reaches the majors? Will he get steals or will he be more of a power 2bman? Thanks!

It's Howie Kendrick and I think he's going to be more of a hitting 2B. Probably will contend for a couple batting titles in his carreer a .300 + hitter with some pop... He's deffinatly a great 2B prospect.

he is one of the prospects that precipitated the Baseball Notebook furor regarding prospects..luciani doesnt have him in his top 100 i believe

I'm not thinking he'll be a big time power hitter or stolen base guy. He should put up decent totals in both annually, but batting average is his specialty.

He's often compared to Tony Gwynn, although he seems to strike out a bit more, but with a bit more power. Basically a guy with great contact skills and a tendency to have very high batting averages.
