Matt Kemp - "I'm Going for 50-50 Next Year"

During a conference call today with Los Angeles media members, Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp made the bold prediction he was going for a 50-50 season in 2012.

"I'm going to go 50-50 next year. I'm telling you, y'all created a monster. I'm about to get back in the weight room super tough so I can be as strong as I was last year. … Forty-forty is tough, so 50-50 will be even tougher, but anything can happen. I have to set my limits high so I can try to get to them as much as I can. I'm going to try for 50-50, which has never been done."

"I'm serious. If I don't [get there], it means I let y'all down and lied to you, and I don't like being a liar. I know y'all are over there thinking I'm crazy, but hey, I'm trying to take it to another level."

Matt Kemp MVP? Part 2

Yesterday I posted a video from ESPN's Pardon the Interruption where they gave a brief mention of Matt Kemp's MVP chances.  You can view that post here

I have a few weeks worth of Around the Horn episodes on my DVR so I haven't watched the episode where they discuss in depth Kemp's MVP chances.  However, thanks to a tip from Greg at plaschkethysweaterisargyle.blogspot.com here is a video where they discuss Kemp's MVP chances for about 4 minutes.  It's good to see Kemp getting some national attention.

For some in depth analysis of Kemp's MVP numbers take a look at Evan's write up over at opinionofkingmansperformance
