    I thought moving to a corner outfield position and being another year removed from shoulder surgery would make Kemp a valuable player again. Still vastly overpaid and a terrible investment, but I thought he had a couple big offensive years left in him.

    But I agree with the "big pile of s***" assessment. He's HORRIBLE. So glad Freido and Farhan are in charge and not me. Best trade in recent memory. On so many levels.

    Dude will be hitting around .270 with 20 bombs and 95 RBI by seasons end, book it.

    That would be better than horrible.

    actually wish kemp the best
    but grandal>kemp in every aspect
    better offensively, defensively, younger and cheaper
    he's also a huge upgrade at a premium position
    whereas kemp is below average at a position where we had/have a lot of depth
    not to mention... having been given the chance to play, ethier has been an unexpected stud
    >kemp imo

    I always considered Joc to be the one who "replaced" Kemp in the OF.

    Bryce Harper echoes Jayson Werth: ‘We’re the team to beat. Everybody knows that.’

    He's essentially an average hitter for the position and the worst corner outfielder in the sport

    Andre the longest tenured Dodger. 9 years. Would be great to see him win the WS here.

    Crazy how much turnover this organization has had. I remember in 2006 there was literally nobody on the active roster from 2004. Teams like the Yankees having guys for 10-15+ years is remarkable.

    Why does Puig look so inept up there? :( He suddenly has an open stance? Ahhhhhhh take notes from Turner about how to give yourself the most plate coverage and ability to adjust to off speed.

    Winning with Dre would be vindication for that whole group of Dodgers, and I loved them all (except Loney), even Kemp for a while despite my reputation here

    Also think they'll probably trade him this offseason so this might be the last shot

    Puig turns a single into a double. Run ends up scoring. Nice.
