Heard Kemp has a problem hitting off speed stuff. Give pitchers some time to see how to get this guy out. It wil happen.

Well most all rookies have a hard time hitting pretty good off speed stuff, it's a learning curve that happens with most everyone. Of course he is bound to slump, he isn't Pujols already ... but maybe ... just maybe ... you should start giving Kemp a tad more credit, hm? ;-)

Rotoworld said the breaking stuff made him look silly...so is it the off speed stuff or the breaking pitches? Well...obviously he isn't going to keep up his current pace, but if we're looking at the next Miggy Cabrera, then i'm happy, maybe we are, his minor league numbers are great.

Well, he'll come back down to earth and then we'll see how he adjusts.

Dude, the guy has talent give him that. Nobody expects him to hit a HR every game, but he has the potential to be a solid no. 3 OF the rest of the way. He has a rare set of skills, and he has been showing then off do far.

Look like someone may be a little jealous that he wasn't able to snatch Kemp.

u guys are over analyzing by this "off speed stuff" this guy can flat out hit, theres a reason he made the jump from Jax to the majors

The big question I have is....is he staying in the starting lineup when Repko and co. return?
