Kj Is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is everyone around here really excited about Repko or just being sarcastic? And who the hell is KJ?

Odie (Portland): No question the Upton brothers are good. I just don't see a point in having this debate, because Justin is still so green. Sure, he's got the scouting reports, and he has the minor league track record, but all that major league success that's being thrown his way is pure conjecture. That being said I'd gladly take either of them. How would you rate the Upton boys compared to some other scary good power/speed guys out there? Matt Kemp, Chris Young, Nick Markakis?
SportsNation Keith Law: Kemp is the only one of those three guys who could hang with the Uptons on tools. I think I'd still rank him third, just because I think the Uptons show a better feel for the game (Kemp was a basketball star in HS, so he's developing a bit late as a baseball player), but I think all three will be superstars.

Kelly ( Long Beach, CA): quick Dodger question.. Do you think it hurts the Dodgers not having a left-handed starting pitcher? Are they counting on Elbert making the rotation sometime in '08 to compensate for this? Also, how does Kemp stack up against Bruce in your opinion?
SportsNation Keith Law: I like Kemp better than Bruce. I don't think having a LHS is that critical - maybe in the AL East where there are a number of very good LHB, but probably not - and I would hope they're not counting on Elbert to come back that quickly after a missed season.
