So does anyone have the inside track on whether he'll get 500+ ABs? I couldn't believe I snagged him in the 21st round of my draft last night, obviously because people fear he'll be the 4th OF for LA. What's the skinny?

Kemp seems to be headed for a platoon with Andre Ethier in right field at the beginning of the season, which would limit his Fantasy appeal. He has all the tools to be a Fantasy stud for years to come, but needs everyday at-bats. He remains a solid long-term keeper and NL-only flier on Draft Day.

there's way too many conflicting reports.
I've seen more of an Ethier/Pierre platoon than a Kemp/Pierre or Kemp/Eithier platoon.
He's the most talented of the 3. We'll just have to hope Torre recognizes that.

Meh, we should just trade for Pierre and teach him Shortstop.

I drafted him in our league pretty early, largely because I think his keeper value could be real high. I'm hoping that the plays up to his ability, and if he does that, there's no way they can platoon him.
