We've pretty much just assumed that the Kendrick/AK problem will resolve itself next year because AK won't be back.  However, what if the following plays out:

(1) Due to his poor 2006 performance, no team offers him anything close to big $$$;

(2) Therefore, due to his apparently insatiable desire to remain with the Angels, he goes to Stoneman and offers to sign for peanuts, thus avoiding being shown the door like Glaus & Molina because of big contract demands;

(3) Because AK is within sniffing distance of the 25-man, Scioscia takes him with the club out of spring training;

(4) Because he is in the dugout, Scioscia feels compelled to play him a la Erstad, GA, Figgins, etc.; and

(5) Because AK cannot play anywhere but 2B, Kendrick plays out of position, or goes to AAA a la Jered Weaver if Kotchman & McPherson seize the corners.

Am I on crack to think this is even remotely possible?
