Kemp was seen on crutches during the team's postseason pep rally, and stated that he feels like he would break his ankle if he were to play on it. He apparently didn't get good news from his MRI on Sunday and will be a cheerleader for the Dodgers this postseason. He also has plans for minor shoulder surgery in the offseason, but should be ready to go for 2014.","date":"Sun Sep 29"},"fullName":"Matt Kemp","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Fantasy's No. 1 player in 2011, Kemp, for the first six weeks last season, appeared on track to repeat the effort. Then hamstring injuries struck; they would cost him 51 of 162 Dodger games in 2012 and cast doubt upon his future production in the stolen base department, a key part of his fantasy game. Projecting his output to a full year, he'd have stolen only 14 bases, still his worst total in his five seasons as a regular. Still, even if that's Kemp's new baseline in the category, he's an in-his-prime 28-year-old whose contributions with his bat should easily elevate him into the top 10 -- and arguably top five -- in mixed leagues, and make him a viable No. 2 pick in NL-only formats. Consider his per-162-game rates the past three seasons: .291 batting average, 35 home runs, 108 RBIs, 103 runs scored. The primary question about Kemp this spring should be the condition of his shoulder, which required surgery in October, though most indications are that he should be ready by Opening Day. If so, considering the Dodgers' intent to improve the talent surrounding him, Kemp should again rank among the leaders in homers, RBIs and runs scored.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon Feb 11"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.4,"playerRater15DAY":2.7,"positionRank":85}
