Chasing 50-50 041014

Here we are with the lead off of the third year of the Chasing 50-50 segment. Matt Kemp made the bold claim two seasons ago that he could make a run at 50 home runs and 50 steals in a season. Kemp will always be a part of this as long as he's playing. Just like last year we will also start off following the progress of Mike Trout and Carlos Gonzalez. Others will be added during the season as they display the ability to put up power and speed numbers.
