FACTS/FLUKES: Kemp, Greinke, Escobar, Leake, Ramos

Risky Kemp could reap rewards ... Matt Kemp (OF, SD) showed flashes of his former-elite self with a monster second half (.298 BA, 17 HR in 275 AB) in 2014. More importantly, his time on the DL was limited after two seasons of significant injury woes. We know Kemp's a risk, but are the skills worth taking a chance on him anyway?
