Dodgers Long-Term Kemp, Sign Ellis
Only one of these deals is a good one, unfortunately, as the Dodgers lock up Matt Kemp in an 8 year/$160M deal supposed to be announced at the dedication of a Dodger Dream Field in Compton.
The other deal, unfortunately, looks like a real dud, with Mark Ellis getting badly overpaid to the tune of 2 years/$8.75M. There's really no justification for this level of compensation, especially for an essentially just-over-replacement level player. On the other hand, Fangraphs says his value last year was $6M combined to the A's and Rockies, which says something about teams willing to pony up for mediocre bats up the middle.

Matt Kemp in my eyes deserves this type of deal because of what he has done. I thought Ethier would be the guy to step up, but Matt Kemp took the roll. He is a true LA man and I'm excited for next season for him. We got a good group for a bankrupt team. I don't know anything about Mark Ellis, so I would say anything about his contract until I have an idea of what kind of player he is
