To defend zito I don't see how you can't see that point of view. They Braves added ~$8.5 million in salary per year for 3 years for Kemp. The last 1 5/6's seasons Kemp has provided 0.5 total WAR. If he does that the next two seasons the Braves will have paid close to 17 million for 0.5 WAR. With the going rate of 8 million per WAR that is a horrible use of money. And one could consider that moronic. Now there are other considerations I won't get into that I personally agree with but the reality is the Braves will be overpaying for Kemp. And to some people that is not a good thing.

Disregarding 2016, by my calculation, Braves add to payroll 12 million in 2017, 11.5 million in 2018, and 10.5 in 2019.

They save 8 million in 2020.

It's possible that saving 8 million in 2020 is the biggest positive for the trade. If the Braves were able to get good production out of him and flip him without having to pay too much of his salary (the Dodgers and Padres say good luck to that), it could be a nifty maneuver.
