Matt Kemp has been benched for the past several games by Manager Don Mattingly and it looks like Matt Kemp might be the odd man out in the Dodgers crowded Outfield, especially with Joc Pederson tearing up the Pacific Coast League. Manager Don Mattingly was quoted as saying that Matt kemp appeared to be a little bit slower this season compared to what he had been a couple of seasons ago. His production is way down, Andre Ethier has been hot as of late (although his power numbers are way down), and Kemp might be trade material. His is still relatively young but his trade value has been hurt by his past injury problems and I believe the most the Dodgers can hope for is a mid-level prospect for a team willing to take on Kemp's salary. The Dodgers would probably have to pick up a large portion of that.
* Right after writing this blog it was reported that Carl Crawford had badly sprained his ankle and would be headed to the Disabled List. Is now the time to bring up Joc Pederson?
