He's no Halladay of course.. tho he tries to be by basically following Halladay's foot steps day in and day out (ever since Halladay signed). It cant hurt being Halladay's shadow and pick up some of his knowledge, even if Kendrick will never have nearly as good of command.

Ah actually he hasn't. He has pitched sort of effectively in 5 of 12 games. That would be 42%. He will be fine in long relief because if your pitcher gets pulled early you are probably losing anyway. kendrick just doesn't have major league starters stuff and is abysmal against lefties. They are hitting .316/.385/.526 against him. Chase Utley is hitting .286/.380/.520 for his career. So basically every left handed hitter is turned into a more productive hitter than CHASE UTLEY when facing Kendrick!!!
That is not good...
