I looked every where and could not find a thing on the instructional league this past fall.
Any clue?

They don't really keep or publish records because it is an instructional league. I have only seen the list of attendees and some blurbs here and there. Laudatory blurbs I have heard were on Drabek , Cosart, and Bernardo Solarte. If you don't have the list of attendees, it can be found on the original Phuture Phillies thing or various other places.

I had heard they planned on sending Kendrick down there, has anyone found any confirmation of that?

Yeah, they sent him to Instructional League ^ (before and)during the World Series to work on a breaking ball and a change-up. He returned before the Series concluded. They said he made progress.

Most likely he starts the Year at AAA and will have an opportunity to earn his way back to the bigs. |

A year of reps at the AAA level where he can focus on learning a legit 2nd pitch is not a bad thing. Remember that he was completely rushed during his initial callup.

No so much rushed as he got stupid lucky and won a ton of games. Then a years time went by and people caught up to his mediocre sinker and he basically was throwing BP. |
