he is still decently productive even tho he is slumping. i would rather see someone fill third base and another starter.
Sounds like De Bums may be letting Matt Kemp go.....someone has to go in Tinsel Town....1 Of'er to many now Crawford's back in the line-up....yet it's been real convenient to have 4 OF'ers (BUMS), yet, with Crawford, and Kemp being snake bit in their careers for injuries, I'd personally want 4 OF'ers. only prob is one of 'em are always down, and two are making way to much money, approx. 50 mil b/t Kemp & Crawford, expensive DL money....!
Wish I did Rick. Not sure who would be on the trade block. Heard Kemp but not sure we have what Dodgers would want. How about that grander son guy from the Mets. Just kidding relax.
The thing with Kemp is #1 he's due $107M over the next 5 seasons, $21M next year & $21.5 for 2016-2019. Also he's missed 145 games in the last 2 years (56 in 2012 & 89 in 2013) & 11 more this year.
...rick, also consider that if LA is willing to jettison Kemp, there's a reason why. ...unless they are willing to eat half his salary, I'd pass.
I hear ya'' Rick, I would NOT want to see Kemp in Pin-Stripes. nope....As you demonstrated he's become injury plagued, as is Crawford. No team can count on either player, to give them a 150 game season. On top of that, Kemp gets healthy can't hit a ball off of a Tee if they placed it on one for him. Then he catches fire for a week, and hurts himself again. A once red hot triple crown contender, is but a shell of the ball player he once was. just say no to Kemp. Word has it, the Bums would love to get some young talent for Kemp, but would damn near let him walk to offload his bloated salary. The Bums have 5 of the 10 highest paid NL players all on one roster. Expect Hanley Ramirez to be sought after by NY, as the Bums have made it clear, they will NOT offer him a contract, (he's making way more money than he's worth too, and is also snake bit with injury and has been for years). sayonara Hanley it was nice to know you, NOT....the kid could once carry a team on his back. Now a Team has to carry Hanley on their backs. Dee Gordon, once unable to field a routine ground ball without flubbing it several times over has turned his game around BIG TIME, making gold glove plays at 2nd base, (he is a SS by trade originally) and the next replacement for Ramirez....I only hope the Yanx pass on Hanley too. Moreso I'd love to see Hanley get and stay healthy, play 160 games, and earn his way onto the YANX roster Only if healthy......his salary is way over his head also....for that money H.R. makes, I'd give Tulo a 10 million dollar raise to wear Pin-Stripes, over Hanley any day.... For a contract FA year, Hanley is NOT playing like he's trying to earn the respect of any Team. Often he's looked like he has no clue what he's doing in the field, this year. To often I have seen Hanley not cover 2nd for the double play, not even paying attention, caught napping. Or throwing the ball 20 feet wide of Gordo at 1st. WTF is wrong with Hanley, definitely not the player he has been in past years.
