Matt Kemp

Another guy who I like is Matt Kemp. With the dodgers after Jones, what about this.

Brewers Trade

What would it take for the brewers to get kemp?

Sheets maybe. Parra and Gamel? Something along those lines. Kemp is quite a prospect

I read a rumor that Dodgers management is looking to deal some youngsters, as there are two camps, veterans and young guys, and they don't get along. Management made the stupid decision of sticking with the veterans. This includes guys like Luis Gonzalez and Juan Pierre.

 

So, it might not be too impossible to get one of those position prospects from the Dodgers.

Easy solution here. Get rid of Jeff Kent. That guy seems like a real horse's behind. With that said Matt Kemp would be interesting, but at what cost?

Kemp's a nice player, but I'm always a little bit leery of guys whose OBP-BA is in the low range. So much of their value is tied into maintaining a high average, which can be somewhat volatile. I have nothing to back this up, but I have always had a gut feeling that young guys who put up an impressive OPS (like Kemp) with 90%+ of their OBP dependent on their BA have a higher chance of a significant regression in value than a player with a similar OPS with a lower BA. (Which makes me somewhat worried about Braun's ceiling) That being said, Kemp has put up good numbers at every level thus far, and his minor league walk rate seemed to be trending upward, which may be a harbinger of great things.

Kemp is a beast who can play all three positions in the outfield...and is a 5-tool contributor. The guy I always thought he would compare well to would be Delmon Young, except more fleet of foot and a couple less HR's (but more doubles).
