== Hendrick in RBI ==

Hendrick is a powerful sub off the bench for the Angels. His 849 power rating more than warrants permanent inclusion in the lineup. Some people, however, prefer to keep Hendrick on the bench and let [[Bob Boone]] play out the game. In [[straight pitch]], some favor the more steady [[Rick Burleson]] over Hendrick. He is prone to the double-play (especially in straight pitch) and lacks consistency. Regardless, Hendrick is a quality player and his at-bats should be maximized.

== Nicknames ==

* Silent George (named so because he rarely, if ever, talked with the press)
