Hall Monitor: Baseball Reference Ranks Royals’ Chances at Cooperstown
For failing to garner 5% of votes cast this year, Juan Gonzalez will be dropped from the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot next year, leaving the Kansas City Royals with no former players on the regular ballot.
Jason Kendall
Do the Royals have any chance of getting a player in the Hall anytime soon? It’s looking like it will be a very long time.
As I documented in a previous article...

Chantel Kendall and Anna Benson drive ‘Baseball Wives’
The last time she checked, Chantel Kendall said, Major League Baseball players had an "85 percent" divorce rate. Her own bitter divorce to Jason Kendall — a major league catcher for 16 seasons, most recently with the Kansas City Royals — was finalized this past fall. Does divorce mean she's kicked out of the often close-knit inner circle of baseball spouses? And...

Jason Kendall Jumps on Reporter During Standard Interview with Mike Moustakas
It’s Spring Training for the Kansas City Royals which is good news because they’re still in contention for the AL Central crown.

Catching the Bus in 2011
2010 will stick in the mind of many as the year that Jason Kendall was allowed to take control of the starting catcher position for much longer than necessary. Until he was finally taken off of the 25-man roster after the August 30th game, Kendall had started 118 games at catcher to Brayan Pena’s 13. Six of those 13 were in August when Kendall was experiencing the pains of his...

Jason Kendall Is Tough, Out For Rest of 2010
Despite his tendency to bounce throws to second base all season and his inability to hit the ball past 300 feet, I have to give Jason Kendall credit – he’s been playing with an extensive tear in his rotator cuff. Since July. For six weeks. Kendall will have surgery Friday and the early timeframe for recovery is 8-10 months. The Royals are on the hook for $3.75 million...

Jason Kendall: Simply (Not) the Best
I got involved in a discussion the other day on Twitter (@michaelengel) about Jason Kendall’s defensive prowess. Based on his recent 1-25 stretch (now improved to 4-39!), the question came up asking why the Royals insisted on playing him so much.After into tonight’s game, Kendall leads the majors in innings caught with 560. Second on the list is Yadier Molina with 516 innings...

Poor, Poor Jason Kendall
No one hated being a Pirate more than Jason Kendall. Well, let me amend that statement. I don’t think Kendall had a problem with playing for the Pirates per se. However, he certainly had a big problem playing for perpetually putrid franchise, one that brought in little other talent or had any hope of ever making the postseason. And, well, during Kendall’s time in Pittsburgh,...
