by Matt SnyderFiled under: Angels, AL West, MLB TransactionsWhile he doesn't have much power or a ton of base-stealing speed, one thing Howie Kendrick has always been able to do is hit the baseball. His career batting average in the minor leagues is an absurd .360 -- with a .972 OPS, which is even more impressive considering his lack of home run power. In the majors, he's generally been a .300 hitter as well. Thus, entering 2009 as a 25-year-old with a firm grasp of the everyday second base job, expectations were a bit high. Kendrick flopped. He was demoted to the minors after hitting only .231 with an abominably low .636 OPS through 51 games. After about three weeks in Triple-A, though, the Angels feel confident Kendrick is ready to come back, as he's been recalled.Howie Kendrick Recalled To Angels originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:00:00 EDT .
