Link below to the story on dodgers.com story... Dodgers finalize Kemp's eight-year deal Franchise-record contract keeps elite center fielder in LA By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com | 11/18/11 2:20 PM EST
lol MLB Network's Clubhouse Confidential predicts these stats for Kemp next season: AB: 572 AVG: .268 OBP: .333 SLG: .465
It's a happy day when a young guy can sign on to $160 million dollars. Do you suppose Jamie will try to sell him some of her houses in Malibu...?
The guy had a breakthrough season, should win the MVP, gets rewarded with a big contract... and these fucken hacks have to shit on him. Who were the guys saying that?
It wasn't any particular person on the show, it was some stupid projection they came up with. How? I dont know. But the only actual person on the air for the segment (Brian Kenny) said that the prediction seemed unrealistically low to him.
Interesting... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dodgers/2011/11/dodgers-matt-kemp-mlb-dodger-stadium.html
fangraphs has the bill james 2012 projections up he fucked kemp in his projections for 2011, but his 2012 looks like this: .293/.362/.516, 31HR/32 steals
yeah, there isn't a no trade clause but if we want to trade him it'll be cause he sucks ass and no one will take him in that case I'm kinda surprised the highest annual value is 21.5, i had a feeling it'd go up to 25 but what do I know, i can't count
Haha, I just saw the Bill James projections now, after posting my prediction...pretty darn close, but I'll take my quad-slash as more realistic.
