Miguel is young enough to have the same keeper value, and he is the more established player. And now that he's quit boozin he will be even better.

There is no wrong answer. They are both monster keepers....probably both late 1st round or early 2nd round picks next season. And they both play deep positions, so no help there.

However, I give a VERY slight advantage to Kemp simply because he is a true 5-tool player, which are hard to come by. Despite Cabrera's marginally better power, Cabrera just doesn't steal any bases.

Of course, if Cabrera's sobriety does result in significant improvement.....my pick of Kemp will end up being wrong.


Help with mine?

I will also go with Cabrera.Won't steal the bases but will exceed Kemp in the other catagories.And First base isn't as deep as outfield.

i would say Kemp. Cabrera has to more power, but Kemp has power and speed. considering lineups i would go with Kemp because the Dodgers overall lineup is better. even if Kemp is only down in the 5 spot for LA he still has good players infront and behind.
i would say what you see with Cabrera is it, this is what he is. Kemp is young enough to where he is still improving.
both a good players, but going forward Kemp has more value.

help?
