he is an All Star and is a front-runner for NL MVP and no saying he cant be as good next yr. and none of the FA next yr are for sure going to be better and whoever we sign will defiantly be worse than Kemp. so why should we have traded him ? If Vegas has a prop bet on whether Kemp was going to have a good year next year, I’d put all my money on against. I got a dollar that says Kemp SUCKS in the second half. Besides, even if he hits he's a god awful outfielder. That's why his WAR is still only 1.6. Nick's is 3.0 right now.

No, just no, please god no, don’t give up anything for that guy. I was never impressed with him, and even after a hot start this year he’s been dreadful in June and July, OPS under .650. Just say NO! Agreed! No need to give up prospects for no or marginal gain unless they are going to put Camargo at SS, Moose at 3rd and sit Dansby and even then I'd be against it.

You know, I'm actually OK with this type of move for now. A big acquisition would be nice, but I just don't think the time is right for it. I figure AA will let the market work itself out, and if the Braves play well the next 10 games there might be a decent buy on a rental or someone with another year of control. I just hope the Braves make it a hard decision for him!

Lane Adams has put up some incredibly bad numbers for the Cubs AAA team this year in 98 PA's, wow!
.136/.265/.185/.450 with a wRC+ of 28 and a strikeout percentage of 33%.
Yikes!
He has been a good bench player for us, but those numbers are scary......especially being AAA numbers!

and I still have no doubt its better for our organization to have Lane Adams than it was for us to have Danny Santana.

Nick's is 3.0 right now. when kemp plays RF he is rated as a top 10 defensive RF Markakis is ranked around 25.....As for his Defense in LF it isn't good its near the bottom just under Acuna. So are you saying, Acuna, is an Awful outfielder too? And what in Kemps past has shown him not to be a great hitter when Healthy heck he was better hitter fat and overweight that any OF the braves have had in the last 10 yrs
