I have never seen a player less ready than Swanson.
He's clearly overwhelmed

Kemp with the Braves: 269/344/436 - 105 WRC+. Would like more pop but that OBP is really solid.
And negative 5 DRS.
Just wait till he gets skinny
I thought all I had to wait was until he started caring? Now that he cares, I have to wait even longer for him to get skinny?
Ahhh, SSS on already very shaky defensive stats. Perfection.
Step 1 was putting back on that Braves jacket he had since was 10
Step 2 is caring
Step 3 is getting skinny

Wait, the defense and offense are both SSS.
However, the offense is better than what he has been putting up and the defense is about the same. I don't understand your point. Is Matt Kemp not among the worst defenders in baseball by both the "eye" test and the "stat" test?

Like how we waited till Markakis was able to work out and gain back his HR power?

ISO is up from .080 last year to .122.

300% improvement defensively from Kemp. i'd take that.

Kemp regaining his plate discipline seemingly overnight is by far the most encouraging sign that he can contribute next year. His defense never has, and never will be good, so I'm not going to even entertain the idea that him losing weight will make any difference.
Kemp is a lousy defender, but so is Matt Holliday and the Cardinals managed to keep him in LF during some pretty good seasons. I think the thing is we hope Kemp hits enough to contribute and then is lifted when we have a lead late in ball games, which is what happened last night.
