Kendrick moved back, "nothing to do with trade deadline"
Andy Martino
Kyle Kendrick did not make his scheduled start today for Lehigh Valley, which had the potential to be interesting during trade season. But I put in a call to farm director Chuck Lamar, who said, "He was just pushed back until tomorrow. This had nothing to do with the trade deadline at the major league level. He will start tomorrow at Lehigh Valley."
Nats righty bat Josh Willingham, who some have said would make sense for the Phils, is in the lineup tonight for Washington, by the way.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, Kendrick for Willingham sounds too good to be true for Phillies fans because it is. Of course, Willingham would be perfect for the Phils, but it would take more than Kendrick to land him. I wrote that he was in the Nats lineup tonight to make clear that he was NOT being traded for Kendrick.
It's the lineup official yet? Charlie had 3 lineups the other and played with the three different combinations until the last minute. That doesn't mean anything. He could be taken in the middle of the game also.— EL Zorro- the other day— EL Zorro
- EZ Kendrick is in AAA Manuel doesn't do their line ups. AS for the nats, do they even have lineups there> I thought they just did it by the first 8 guys who showed up started. At least that's how it seems given their record.— fan_in_jerusalem
- Sure. Today just happened to be the day for Sergio Escalona's annual two inning start. He does that once a year about this time.— Dull
- Pigs got hammered, tho Michael Taylor did get his average up to the Mendoza line.— GoPhilsGo
- I'm talking about Willingham. He is in the Nat's lineup, Andy wrote. There is a KK for Willingham rumor circulating.— EL Zorro

- Willingham for KK would be a GREAT trade. Willingham is exactly what the Phillies need on the bench.— RichNC

- That could be a steal. Maybe there is a player to be named later also going to the Nats. Bruntlett should fit right in with them.— EL Zorro
- ez: I was kidding you. I still wonder, though, if the nats bother with line ups— fan_in_jerusalem
- Hmmmmmm,,,,,,,rumor works for me.— mick314
- Zzzz. KK for a handful of sunflower seeds and plug of cheap chaw.— steelydad
- Where do I sign up to drive Kendrick to DC? Can someone help me hogtie Manuel so we can put that useless stiff Bruntlett in the back seat, too?— Bob1
- KK as a Nat's starter.... bombs away....— M60tanker
