NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For as much as some Angels fans seem to be clamoring for a return of Howie Kendrick, it isn’t looking likely.
Although the Angels have been in touch with Kendrick’s agent, the club has clearly not placed a high priority on re-signing Kendrick, or any free agent second baseman.
The reason is simple. The Angels don’t have enough resources – financially or in player assets to trade -- to upgrade at all three of their weakest lineup spots. They can probably upgrade at two of them, and left field and third base are more pressing needs.
