Prime age is typically considered 26-30. So yeah, technically you're right. He's still in his prime for the upcoming season.

I'm so pissed at the Reds today. They have shown they have no interest in winning or even fielding a competitive team.

Either has 53.5 million owed over the next 3 seasons. Ain't nobody wants to pay Either 9 million a year even if the Dodgers eat half.

He is not an elite power hitter. And with the move to Petco, those numbers look to decline as well.

i mean he may not be Mike Stanton-elite, but i think you're kinda selling him short. If he's healthy, he's gonna hit

I didn't count his 2018 season which they can buy out for 2.5 mil. That leaves 2015, 2016, and 2017.
We have a difference in opinion in elite. That's fine. I consider 30 type guys as elite power hitters. He has one 30 homer season under his belt in a time where people were still juicing. Not saying he juiced, I'm just saying.
I don't think I am. He can definitely hit for power. When you talk about being elite, he's not up there with the Stanton, Bautista, E5, Abreu, etc. of the league. He's under the category.
I think he'll hit... if healthy. I think if he goes 20/90 in that ball park(obviously there's potential for more) the Padres will be getting their money's worth... especially with that extra 31 million.

Could you imagine if they cloned Mike Trout and Giancarlo Stanton?

The payroll for their market size says differently. Just a matter of fact, gotta make payroll.

Kemp without legs is a good player but definitely not a 20 million dollar one. His defense is average at best, he doesn't steal bases anymore. For a corner OF his power is ok.

I'd be a fool if I said ball park factors don't matter because they do. With that said, Abreu hit 6 more on the road, Bautista hit 1 more at home, and E5 4 more at home. Very little discrepancy there. And I think we can both agree their power can pretty much translate anywhere as well... Another reason why they're elite power hitters.
If we're going to start calling Matt Kemp an elite power hitter, we might as well call Adam LaRoche one too.

I don't foresee Kemp magically regaining health so it makes the point kind of moot regardless, but I think a healthy Kemp playing in TOR is a 35 HR guy. Dodger Stadium is a beastly also; I would think there's a good 3-4 HR difference between Dodger Stadium & Rogers/Cell over a statistically significant sample size but I don't care to do scour google for that at the moment.

He was the worst defensive OF last season, I believe

Agreed. Kemp has pop. I don't think he's an elite power hitter though.

Dodger stadium was right behind Rogers center and US Celluar was 8 spots below them. 3, 5, and 13.

1 year park sample sizes don't mean much; it is far too lineup oriented.
I read a link a while back that had historical park factors but can't seem to find it. I will post it if I do.

Worse than Holliday?! I kid Matt was decent last year somehow.

The last 3 years there isn't a big gap. They all were 13 ish once in the last 3 years. Toronto was 3 twice and the other two pretty much swapped spots. But it's pretty much a given that we know Rogers Center is a band box.

E5, Bautista, and even Colby Rasmus all averaged 400'+ on their HRs last season. Pretty sure those dudes bomb in any park. Outside of JBats 54 HR season, his home/road HR splits are pretty even. E5 doesnt have a big discrepancy, either.
I think the year Aaron Hill and Adam Lind went bonkers had people thinking Rogers Centre was a bandbox. Their dimensions seems pretty normal. 328' down the lines, 375' in the alleys, 400' straight away. Not sure where it stacks up vs other parks, though

it's not the dimensions, rather the neutral variables that come with a domed stadium
