What I mean is that it looks by the eye test and stats he's a **** defender
I haven't seen him miss enough plays to come close to making any noticeable impact on his offense.
Most teams don't have trout. You have to weigh pluses and minuses. Kemp has been an above avg addition as a brave imo
I don't buy the garbage math that he's only costing us 3/27. I don't think he'll sustain this offense. And I don't get someone at his stage of career on our team. Let's move him while we can
I agree
I think the mistake on ender is making him a lead off guy. On a power offense he should be hitting 7-9. He's a competent hitter, esp for cf, but he needs to be later in the lineup
I will always think the simba deal was done with coppy knowing he had Swanson on the table. I hated it then and I hate it now. Again it's not simbas fault we sucked and tried to bat him second.
If the braves could get better hitters then we could win games and let ppl be what they are.
Hamate injury often saps power for a year or more. So I'm worried about d Peterson. But I was very high on him and hope to be again. All of the writers I typically read thought he was a no doubt strong hitter and solid corner defender. That's what we need at two. He will only do like 15 hrs but he can hit and drive the ball
I didn't say that either. This really shouldn't be such an ordeal. An error in the playoffs can be more costly than an error in the regular season. It's no more likely that an error would occur in a playoff game than it would be to occur in a regular season game. It's fairly unlikely to be a game changing play, but the Braves would be unlucky to have it happen.
Kemp's increased or decreased likelihood of making such a play would be related to his defensive ability compared to whomever you would like to compare him to.
Is this bet going to be over before the end of May?
I'll put this here....assuming the following two things: 1) Kemp continues to Mash, and 2) Dustin Peterson has another excellent season
Do we trade Kemp and if so what should we expect in return?
Having a potential and somewhat likely albatross on your roster should be avoided if at all possible. I like Kemp a lot, but he has been injury prone or just seemed to lack interest at times. If someone will take his entire contract and give us a decent player as well, we should definitely do it.
