I think if we look at this is as him replacing Pucillo or better than Wade or than this guy or that guy, then the trade looks a little diffferent. The fact that it seems that Wade hasn't worked himself into the line up all that well and we've only seen Pucillo one full game, makes the situation seem as though we've failed at plugging that position. But if we backed this trade up, say, two or three months ago, then it probably doesn't look so bad from a monetary or experience standpoint.

Ask yourself, if we signed this guy two weeks after Dockery left, would I feel the same?

While I do miss Dock, he was not worth that kind of money. He was good, but was a product of his fellow teammates and coaching. Kendall is a pretty good replacement, and for half the money! Kendall is just a very small step down due to his age. But he could be just what we need.
