Matt Kemp's Time In Dodger Blue Should Be.. And Is DONE!

Now, I know this is not going to be liked by many, but someone needs to say it... Matt Kemp is no longer welcome. I dont care that he had a 297/352/490/842 TSL with 180 hits, 58 for extra bases, 26 of those HRs, 101 RBIs, 34 steals, a 125 OPS+ and that he won a Gold Glove or Silver Slugger. Lets face it, it's the past! It means nothing. I dont care that his career average coming into this season was 299 or that his OPS+ was 116. It was the past! The 75 game, 299 AB sample size is more important! I mean, it is the present! He now has a 771 OPS and an 110 OPS+. Who cares if it is still above average, he is done! I mean, look at his 258 average! We can find better production elsewhere. I mean, Reed Johnson is hitting over 300! Matt Kemp has shown no progress(even though he is one pace to walk more than last year.. who cares, it is only one stat) and is now lazy on the basepaths! He has been caught stealing as much as he has been successful and that is not good! Fuck Matt Kemp, we'd be better starting Reed Johnson for the next 90 games.
