MATT KEMP RUMORS & GOSSIP

Regression Risks

We launched a new feature this week where a four-writer panel (myself, Jeff Erickson, Bernie Pleskoff and Michael Rusignola) each provided an overall Top-350 list for the upcoming season (the rankings will go live with an article by Wednesday).

Matt Kemp’s Female Fans Have A lot in Common

Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Matt Kemp has a legion of female fans that know absolutely nothing about baseball — They don’t necessarily like him for his triple crown prowess, or the fact he makes crazy bank.

Trade With Card Buzz: Matt Kemp 2011 Panini Black Friday Special Edition

I completed my first trade with Laurens from Card Buzz. As I don't buy boxes outside of one box of Ginter a year - and perhaps a couple of minor league, high-hit products - I wasn't going to get my hands on any of the Panini Black Friday Special Edition packs.

Matt Kemp, Your Real 2011 National League MVP

Because, you know, he was the best player in the NL this season. And if you're the best player, and have the best season, you provide the most value to your team. You know there's a serious disconnect and major issues with who gets to vote when most of the voters begin their explanation with "Matt Kemp was the best player, but....".

Kemp promises 50-50 season after losing MVP

Matt Kemp met all the criteria for an MVP except one. He didnt play on a division winner, or even on a contender.
