Kendrick's making contact and is a line drive hitter, so the homers will almost certainly come with experience. He had good homer #s in every level of the minors. As his rep as a goood hitter increases and he learns to lay off junk, he'll get into more hitter counts, and he'll learn to sit on the fastball and try to jack it. He'll never be Ortiz, but they'll be good homer totals for a 2b, but it's his average, runs, rbis and steals that are going to be WAY above the average 2b.
