KeMVP

Matt Kemp is having a terrific year, one for the ages and one of the best a Dodger has ever had.  In his 567 at bats this season, as of 9/21 pre-game, he has
-Kemp (NL Rank)-
34 HR (T-3rd)

Matt Kemp, MVP?

113 RBIs (T-1st)
.321 Avg (3rd)
.399 OBP (4th)
40 SB (2nd)
104 R (T-1st)
182 Hits (4th)

His fielding percentage is .986 and he has 5 errors.

His numbers are insane the only other legitimate challenger would be Ryan Braun who's numbers are right up there with Kemp's, but Braun has great hitters in his lineup, Prince Fielder and to a degree Corey Hart, and that keeps pitchers honest.  Kemp has put up his numbers with a much worse lineup.  He has more than twice the home runs of Barajas (15) and almost twice as many RBIs as the second place Ethier/Loney (63).  He is more valuable to his team than Braun is.  Day in and day out he is the most dangerous hitter in the Dodger lineup.  And with Kershaw, they have brought the Dodgers from worst to above .500.

I remember seeing him when he first up to the team and knew that he was something special.  And at as he turns 28 on the 23rd of this month he is starting to reach that potential that we all knew he could.

*Update does he need anymore endorsement than Tommy.  "@TommyLasorda: Thanks for the birthday wish @TheRealMattKemp. I'm happy I could teach you how Italians twirl pasta. For me, you should be MVP."
