It must be nice to have a team that needs to DFA a guy like Tony Kemp

Teams could do way worse for a 4th outfielder.second basemen than Tony Kemp. Sox should certainly take a look at this guy if available.

I am surprised to read the "go get Kemp" posts.  This guy would add to the garbage we already have in Yolmer, Tilson, Rondon, Cordell, Engel.

He’s way more useful than every single one of those guys.

Tony Kemp has never put up a 1.0 fWAR. The grass is always greener.

True, but we really don’t know what we have in Mendick.  Kemp could be a decent option starting at 2B until we call up Madrigal a few weeks into next season.  Then, Kemp could assume the utility role.

How so?  Not trying to be a jerk but I don't see it.  I'm interested in why you feel that way.

He had an OPS+ of 107 in 300 ABs last year and a 92 this year. The guys you named couldn't do that in their dreams.  He takes walks better than anyone on this team. 

He plays both the infield and the outfield well enough and with speed. None of the guys you listed can do that. 

Remember when yolmer had that half decent year in 2017, and we all said that guy would be useful on a contenders bench? That's what Kemp is.

Kemp only plays against RHP

 

That's fine, I'm not looking for a starter, Kemp is a better utility option moving forward than anyone on this roster.

I would take Leury over him without a doubt.

Leury's a lot more expensive and only under control for a year, you'd have Kemp for 4 (maybe 5, I don't trust my math).  They're otherwise pretty similar in their usefulness imo
