The Dodgers are finally addressing their biggest need... more kids to shag balls during BP.
This is exactly what the team needed... a decade ago.
Do. Not. Want.
"This is for you, Kings players who have EVER worn the Kings uniform, and Kings fans wherever you may be, all the frustration and disappointment of the past is GONE! The 45 year drought is over! The Los Angeles Kings are INDEED, the Kings of the National Hockey League, the 2012 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!" - Bob Miller

If Uribe and Ellis are starters, then sure, what the hell, Kennedy's the backup.
If it's a minor league deal with spring training invite or at most a 1 year major league deal for $1 million then I'm ok with this. But there is no reason that the Dodgers should be spending on a guy like Kennedy right now when they have far more pressing issues (2 openings in the rotation!) and guys like Kennedy can be signed in February for $500k. If this deal (or Treanor's) in any way hinders the chances of re-signing Kuroda or bringing in Harang in Kuroda leaves then it's a terrible idea. If dollars really are at a premium as Ned says then you don't commit money early in the offseason to backups when you still have starting rotation holes to fill.
I will see you...in the next life
