Of course I’d expect to hear something like this from Dodger fans but not from basically the leader of the team Matt Kemp.
“Every team can use another big bat,” he said. “More offense would help us out. We lost a lot of one-run runs. One more big bat, we’d be more dangerous. Why not do it?”
So, he was asked, how’s the recruiting of Fielder coming?
“I’m sure he’s had enough of baseball now,” Kemp said. “Hopefully, we can get him here. I’d love to have him in L.A., definitely.”
I hope he realizes that he basically said he has no faith that James Loney can be the offense the team needs. This is not only a teammate but James Loney and Matt Kemp came up together in the Dodgers minor league system.
Yes I know that Prince is one of the best first basemen in the game and he’d be dumb to not want him here but he could’ve at least said something like “But we have somebody who plays his position and I’m unsure how that’s going to work out” at least acknowledge him!
Now, I don’t know about how their relationship is but this can’t be good for James Loney’s confidence.
C’mon Matty, you’re the leader of the team now, watch what you say.
