2) He can impart some wisdom on the young guys down there, hopefully helping the young pitchers.

3) This is his launching pad to coaching. Work with the young guys almost in a player-coach capacity, retire at the end of the season and ease right into coaching in the org somewhere. We do him a solid by letting him play in AA, he sticks with this org to coach.
I think Kendall is obviously in it for 3. But the Royals, I believe, are interested in him only because of 2, and this is what I see as desperation.

Can it hurt? Nope. But I don't believe it has much of a chance of helping.

Dude clearly has no chance of getting back to the ML, so that's moot.
