Sorry, thats a completely dumb thing to say. Say all you want that Kendall shouldnt have been signed, that he was paid too much, that its insane to play him so much and block Pena.
But among every day AL catchers, he is second only to Mauer in both batting average and on base percentage. He hasnt allowed a passed ball and wild pitches are no longer a problem, so his defense is solid. And despite one nut wringing his hands over it day after day, his ratio of throwing out baserunners is right on the league average.
Again, he shouldnt have been signed. He should not be playing every day. But waste of a roster space? Lets at least try to have some perspective here.
