My reason is I have Tiger Blood. Nuff said. now change it back.
Other than the fact that I lose some of the potential cash from this trade, I do better myself. I add a player who is a fan favorite and there for guarantees me for the next 3 seasons if I choose so, to bring in a few extra fans for more revenue. I add depth to a OF and team that really could use the extra bat. my 1B is batting .137 w/ a .248OBP. I can expect both of those to increase w/ Kemp in the lineup instead. and again contract aside he's a top 5 pickup in FA anyway and again his FF status gives him a leg up over the likes of a Lowrie or a Peterson.
