For this post, I'd appreciate the help of especially the Angels fans on this site (along with everybody else). I want to figure out the Angels 2B issues. They have Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, Maicer Izturis, and then Sean Rodriguez (in AAA).
Howie Kendrick is hitting
| Team | League | AVG | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| LAA | AL | .227 | 47 | 172 | 22 | 39 | 6 | 1 | 4 | 21 | 8 | 33 | 6 | 2 | .273 | .343 | .616 |
Erick Aybar is hitting
| Team | League | AVG | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| LAA | AL | .277 | 40 | 141 | 14 | 39 | 9 | 2 | 1 | 13 | 6 | 16 | 1 | 1 | .305 | .390 | .695 |
Maicer Izturis is hitting
| Team | League | AVG | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| LAA | AL | .261 | 35 | 111 | 20 | 29 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 7 | 13 | 5 | 1 | .303 | .288 | .592 |
Sean Rodriguez is hitting
| Team | League | AVG | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| SLC | PCL | .276 | 52 | 185 | 39 | 51 | 6 | 2 | 19 | 57 | 118 | 19 | 60 | 6 | 1 | .358 | .638 | .996 |
Obviously, Sean Rodriguez has the best power out of the three. He is also a plus defender (I don't know how well Aybar and Izturis field, but I'm guessing they are solid considering their SS background) while Howie Kendrick is a poor defenseman. I know his ML debut last year was less than memorable, but his AAA stats are outstanding; his OPS has been near 1.000 for quite a while, while LAA's other 3 2B candidates have not topped .700 My question is why hasn't he gotten another shot (other than Scioscia loving little bunting 2B) and who you would most like to have at 2B and why.
