“Wrist injury derailed what would have been 3rd straight 40-HR ”

“Can count Kemp among very few w/ .900+ OPS, 30/20 upside”

“Small chance he can bounce back to .300 .. in 2010 when he hit .260 he hit a .322 expected batting average , and last year he hit .240 with a expected batting average of .280 .. Reason it might not consolodate is high number of flyballs and low # of line drives (only 14% in 2010 and 2012)”

 

“Joey bats had a terrible wrist injury that cut his potential 60 HR season short. If you wanted to fear his power was gone, it did not take long for him to launch a HR in Spring Training as he did it in his second game. Go ahead and tag Jose for 50 HRs and a great sleeper pick since he will not go in the first couple of rounds.”

“Kemp was setting historic numbers before getting injured in 2012. He was hitting HRs at a rate that reminded us of Barry Bonds, and now coming into 2013 full healthy with an offence that makes the New York Yankees jealous. Matt Kemp could easily get a 50 HR/120 RBI/50 SB season. The lineup is too good to pitch around him to limit him.”

“The only thing keeping Bautista down in the rankings is the question of whether he can return to top form after his wrist injury. ”

“He was the top pick of many last season, and when he was healthy, he delivered. Though the days of 40 stolen bases may be over. ”

“2012 wrist injury and surgery concern me, plus he lost his third base eligiblity”

 
 

“If he bounces back, he's top 3”

 

“You could make an argument for picks 4-10 to be in a lot of different orders, and it all comes down to your drafting style and they way that you like to create your rosters. Some people go for power, some for an ace starting pitcher, and others go for a combination of power and speed. Matt Kemp offers the best option at a hybrid player that can contribute in all 5 hitting categories. He is not without risk as he spent two trips to the DL last season due to hamstri...”
