Chasing 50-50 041813

Last season we followed Matt Kemp of the Dodgers in his self proclaimed attempt to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases. The 2013 season is under way and we are going to follow Kemp's efforts to see if he can make another run. I'm also adding Mike Trout of the Angels and Carlos Gonzalez into the mix because I think they also have the speed\power combo capable of reaching the mark. This is week three of the chase.

Matt Kemp

It appears that Kemp is having trouble bouncing back from his injury. We will keep him on here since this was basically his idea. In the last week he hit 5 for 25, .200/.192/.240 with 0 HR, 3 RBI, 1 R, 0 SB. For the season he is now hitting .182/.217/.255 with 0 HR, 5 RBI, 5 R, 0 SB in 15 games.
