I would take Kemp who has major upside over a declining Ichiro any day. If Ichiro slows down he becomes pretty one dimensional where as Kemp is a 5 cat stud.

Thanks a lot, Guzman.

Anyone else?

Id do it, you also get a slight power upgrade as your team is kind of lacking there maybe even try to include in the swap getting Zimmerman for Encarnación?
Based on ADP you have a legit chance of getting that done
