I could be wrong but despite the "leak" that there will be suspensions coming after the ASB I don't think that will be the case as the MLBPA will be fighting/delaying every possible action given the inability to prove this - may well be a court case if MLB can't deliver Solid proof not names on slips of paper

One of those players that hardly anybody entering a draft intends on taking, but in the third or fourth rounds, his possibilities start measuring up along other outfielders. His drafter will cry "VALUE PICK!"
While other drafters are happy that it's not THEIR 'value pick'.
We try to convince ourselves in drafting him, that Kemp used to put up number one overall numbers. Maybe he can again.
Knowing that his shoulder, most likely, will hold him back from any possibility of those numbers.
So, he'll be taken in the third or fourth round and be called a 'value pick'.
And he'll be called a value pick right up until he is not.
Opening Day.
If I were a betting man, and judging from my consistent trips to Vegas I must be, Kemp's ADP will be below 30. No way does he reach the 4th round.

You're probably right. One person in 15 will probably take him in the first two rounds.
You're a Dodger fan and think of more of him than others would.
Will you be drafting him in the first two rounds? :D
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
