    No real comp between Bruce and Kemp either, well, other than perhaps defense.
    Bruce is almost 3 years younger than Kemp.
    Bruce's wRC+ is 128
    Kemp's wRC+ is 97, which would rank him 7th in our lineup.
    Kemp has a negative oWAR and dWAR and Bruce does not.
    Bruce is slugging around 100pts higher than Kemp.
    Kemp's splits against LHP/RHP tilt heavily in favor of LHP, and Bruce's are more even.
    Bruce doesn't berate and throw his teammates/manager under the bus or demand trades.
    Bruce hasn't rejected any moves to LF.
    Everybody loves the fact that Andre Ethier has the ability to produce against RHP because of course there are far more righties in MLB, well, Kemp has a .236/.254/.395 line against RHP, owner of a .649 OPS which is 80pts below average.
    All in all, Matt Kemp is trash, already downhill and frozen at the bottom of Everest with frostbite on his hips.
    SD found a taker for that bum James Shields, if they really wanna impress MLB find a taker for Kemp.

    More like Bochy would go " Aroldis Chapman's garage " on Kemp

    No doubt, no doubt, I was just saying because the ROX have been able to put together some talented lineups over the years, at least that's not been the biggest factor in them not winning.
    Most times the pitching just isn't able to hold up and they do have some guys, one of them already in the Future's Game coming up.
    Marquez has been facing older guys a little bit and you can kinda tell, seems like he could be an option to get up before September of '17 if he stays healthy.

    I am annoyed however with "stop gap" acquisitions. Get someone that will make a fucking difference.

    Hardest time to get a fair deal done for a big impact guy is when a big ass banner flashes across the screen saying " Clayton Kershaw sent home for back exams "

    Imo, when and if Bruce is in our OF, fucking up shit as bad or worse than Kemp did out there, this place will go ballistic on his cement block fielding ass, just like they did, and still bother to do, on Kemp.
    I guess he is one of the "elite" players the FO is promising to target... or him first, then all the others?

    I can 100% promise you that I'll go ballistic if either one is patrolling the outfield for us now or in the future.

    It's all fodder at this point. Chances are they don't even trade for Bruce. Just speculation at this point. That's all it is really until something actually happens.

    You fuck up, fans talk shit and go ballistic, not sure what relevance that has.
    It's even happened to Kershaw in the past when he's pissed all over himself on the mound in OCT
    Difference with Kemp is, he fucks up in the field and is a shit stain at the plate as well Lol

    They may as well put Joc on the DL
    The AC joint is nothin to fuck with, needs to be at 100% and it usually takes at least a couple weeks for that
    Shut him down through the allstar break and be done with it
