Matt Kemp traded

[Fountain City Blues]

Has Kemp passed or failed his physical? As of yesterday apparently the Padres were still not sure. They have until midnight tonight to decide.

The holdup apparently is an arthritic hip.

What makes this very interesting is all the other moves the Dodgers have made. If this trade is voided, Jimmy Rollins goes back to Philly because Zach Efflin will be returned to the Padres.

Lovely. Doesn't sound too pleasant for ranging out in the OF to me, but that's up to the Padres to decide.

Kemp was a poor defensive OF'er with good hips, with 2 arthritic hips guessing he slows a bit. Yeah lets see how smart AJ Prellar is, does he still do the deal?

Sidenote, but the Padres just acquired Derek Norris.

Looks like a million bucks in the right uniform! I wonder if he'll find the female companionship as world-class as LA though.
