I'm not opposed to trading for Kemp (in fact, I'm strongly interested in it). Just needs to be the right deal that balances things out for KC.

I don't see Kemp getting back to pre-2012 injury status or even remotely close.
Rios doesn't have anymore pop in his bat that Raul Ibanez does .....
Just give me Byrd ..... the boy can play long ball and this lineup needs just this, a 30 + HR guy.
