LAD Matt Kemp

[CeeLoGreen]

What's up with this guy???

He is hitting third today..

I haven't heard much about him. Any Dodgers homers have some insight?

Well might want to check out the bickering me and Havok are having in the thread right next to this one. We could be going all night at this pace.

this guy is a stud , got promoted from AA-JAx to the Dodgers after putting some HUGE numbers and hes real only big problem is OF is crowded and is expected to get more crowded when some more guys come off the DL, definately short term but expect platooning for rest of season ( looks as if they are going to keep him)

Big dude... power/speed combo. His prospect status shot through this season with the improvements he made at the plate.

Short term value will depend on his PT and the status of the other OF on the Dodgers. He keeps hitting like this, it will be tough to hold him out of the lineup.

I think he is legit. I like prospects who take leaps to get to where he is right now.

yeah no kidding.

some kids are just a natural. Guys like Pujols and Cabrera come to mind and there are others.

So deeper keeper leagues this guy is a must, but in standard redraft leagues its more, take a wait and see approach.


thanks

I have him in my minors and that is the approach I am taking. Prove to me your going to get solid playing and then I'll think about it.

What is the depth problem everyone is speaking of?

Center: Lofton
Right: Drew
Left: Cruz

Repko is injured.

Cruz and Repko don't appear to be irreplacable, why couldn't one think that Kemp would be able to anchor himself in with some great play over Cruz or Repko?

[dodgers6]

Werth and Ledee may be added to that list of injured OF

Those guys, plus Kemp, Ethier, Werth and Repko.
