Better Fantasy Career: Kemp Vs Gordon

[Montana]

Both were two of the hottest prospects in Fantasy the last couple years and both should start being major fantasy contributors over the next couple seasons as they find their strides.

The question is, which one do you think is liable to be the better Fantasy player over the next few years, and more importantly over the course of their careers.

Interesting question.

I want to say Matt Kemp, but my head is telling me to beware the strike out rate, the intangibles.

God damn it, MATT KEMP. My vote.

I got to go with Kemp as well. Gordon has potential out the urethra, but he still hasn't shown the ability to adjust to and hit major league pitching. At least there are some results with Kemp. I'd also be more likely to bet on Kemp maintaining 5 category contribution.

I'll say Kemp and I'm not the least bit biased. I still say Gordon has the higher ceiling (Kemp's closed the gap though) but his plate discipline seems more out of whack between the two.

my vote goes to matt kemp all the way. he is going to settle in as a .300+ hitter who will be a 30-30 player every year and this year he has shown he could even be a 30-40 hitter. gordon is talented but he just can't seem to stay consistent.

I like kemp but i dont see him putting up those numbers . that would mean he would be a soriano with a slightly better average and i just dont see that

Gordy is struggling to hit LHP this year.
If he doesn't make the relevant adjustments I'd say Kemp by a long long way.

Gordon hasn't really impressed me that much. I would say kemp by a good margin.

[Kingctb27]

Gordon's swing is WAYYYYY too long for me.

I'll take Kemp even though his SO rate is painful!
