Sox should certainly take a look at this guy if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Is he a better option than Yolmer at second? He would at least provide more flexibility by being able to play the OF, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Would be a pretty good replacement for Luery if we are able to get anything for him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Replace Rondon with this guy. Put Sanchez to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Tony Kemp has never put up a 1.0 fWAR. The grass is always greener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I am surprised to read the "go get Kemp" posts. This guy would add to the garbage we already have in Yolmer, Tilson, Rondon, Cordell, Engel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but we really don’t know what we have in Mendick. Kemp could be a decent option starting at 2B until we call up Madrigal a few weeks into next season. Then, Kemp could assume the utility role.

He had an OPS+ of 107 in 300 ABs last year and a 92 this year. The guys you named couldn't do that in their dreams. He takes walks better than anyone on this team. He plays both the infield and the outfield well enough and with speed. None of the guys you listed can do that. Remember when yolmer had that half decent year in 2017, and we all said that guy would be useful on a contenders bench? That's what Kemp is.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) If nothing else Madrigal will have someone to keep him company at the amusement park when the rest of the team goes on a roller coaster.

Leury's a lot more expensive and only under control for a year, you'd have Kemp for 4 (maybe 5, I don't trust my math). They're otherwise pretty similar in their usefulness imo Edited July 25, 2019 by mqr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
