LA also gave up Tim Federowicz, backup catcher.

Good. Now maybe SD can deal him to us since L.A. never would. He'd fit right in in Left Field.

I am trying to figure out why LA would refuse to trade Federowicz to us...

And how would he fit right into our LF picture?

We are in dire need of a left fielder and Kemp plays left field. He hits, hits for power, plays D. He'd be ideal. And L.A. would never trade anyone of value to the Giants.

You were talking about Kemp? You quoted a post about Federowicz...


At 15M, Kemp is MUCH more attractive, but no way are the Padres going to trade him. He is now their darling. The Pads have a semi-legit payroll now and they need to attract the fans, and selling Kemp now will not do that.

I keep wondering what the Dudgers are going to do with Van Slyke. I think he has a shot to be a pretty good player if he got consistent ABs.

Agreed. They are stuffed in the OF. The rich get richer, and the Giants keep winning World Series.
