2008

Kendrick saved the Phillies last year. With Freddy Garcia checking out of the rotation in early June, and Jon Lieber about to do likewise, Kendrick checked in and gave the team 13 quality starts in 20 tries. He should get his medal now, because as long as his strikeout rate stays as low as it is, there won't be too many more reasons to honor him. Another thing that won't happen again: a slightly above-average rate of line drives allowed (21 percent) yielding a below-average batting average on balls in play (.285).

2007

A former high school quarterback, Kyle Kendrick made improvements in his off-speed stuff to complement a good moving fastball.
