I leave things as is.  Assuming that all you need is one catcher on your roster, Kendall will be just fine.  He'll hurt your power numbers, but he'll keep you safe in average.

I still like Blalock, so I wouldn't give up on him yet.  And, I wouldn't give up on Homer Bailey just yet, either.  He lit up the minors last year, too, before his call up and poor performance.  Still, the Reds are going to need him, so a call up is probably coming very soon.
