Trade to Japan seems likely after latest outing

Rich Dubee is no Jimmy Rollins. The pitching coach who proclaimed Kyle Kendrick to be the "front runner" for the 5th rotation spot needs some work on his Nostrodamus-like skills. In today's game against the Atlanta Braves, Kendrick was shelled - giving up 8 runs and 10 hits in 3 innings of work. Kyle's spring ERA has now ballooned to 14.29. Many Phillies coaches and personnel feel Kendrick needs to get his mental edge back to return to 2007 form. I, on the other hand, think its time to look at other options. 

"They hit the mistakes. They were just mistakes, really."

Kendrick is beginning to sound like another Phillies pitcher (Mr. Eaton) in the excuse making department. As much as I like Kyle, I think it's time for him to face the reality that he is just a mediocre pitcher and maybe 2007 was just a lil something I would like to call luck.
