The Thing Is ...

Jason Kendall attempting to explain that he can still be good. You just gotta believe.

Apparently, Jason Kendall's option for next year has been exercised due to the number of at-bats he has had this season, and he's happy he's coming back next season. The thing is do the Brewers want Kendall back? When most people thought the signing was a bad thing, the Brewers apparently had no one else because not only did they sign him, they gave him an easy-to-get option for next year. Now, they have to pay him around $4.5 million to be their catcher next season. I doubt that there will be better catchers next offseason in free agency, but I'm betting someone from AAA could pop in to hit .245/.328/.318. Vinny Rottino? Actually, Angel Salome, the AA catcher, seems to be the best option with his .367/.418/.564 line.
