This is a Backup Question really...
I currently have Hudson (AZ) as my 2nd Base Back up, but Kendrick is very tempting to just add on... Currently I have Francoer (Atlanta) as a Back Up Outfield, but I also have Swisher (Oak) and Youkilis (Bos)... So I'm thinken of Trading Francoer for Kendrick, just as Extra Back Ups...
What do you Think?

Kendrick. I'm an Angels fan and I actually think he'll be batting 3rd at some point this season. On the contrary to a previous answer, I've heard that Figgins will move to the #9 spot and Matthews Jr. will be in the lead off spot. You know who bats 4th (Vlad) so definitely go with Kendrick.

Kendrick will probably become your starter at 2B. He may initially occupy the Kennedy (9th) spot in the Angels lineup. Which they use as an extra leadoff hitter - in other words, run and run some more. He may not set the world on fire but could provide an upside of avg and SB's but he does have a little power as well and could move up in the order getting more RBI chances.
Francoeur struggles with on base percentage at times, while he is a HR threat at times he is just as much of an 0-4 threat.
In this case, backing up hudson looks to be more of a priority than a back up outfielder.

I agree with everyone. Go with Kendrick. The kid is legit. He killed it last year. He's killing it now in the Cactus League. He could possibly take over the #2 spot in the lineup if OC starts slumping.

Jeff Francoeur is the man you better keep him or you'll going to regret because he will have a way better year then Kendrick. So keep Francoeur.
