I fail to see the logic of the Dodgers dealing Kemp, Billingsley, and Broxton for Felix.
Kemp is an emerging superstar and as valuable as Felix on his own. Plus he doesn't require a $100 million dollar immediate extension, and doesn't come with the injury risk that all starting pitchers bring to the table.
Plus they are going to throw in Billingsley and Broxton?
In this age of baseball where young talent is being valued at an alltime high, M's will never get true fair value for Felix. If he is dealt it is most likely for an emerging young player already on an ML roster (but not on the level of Kemp) and prospects.
Nobody is giving up the best CF in baseball for the 2009 season, a cheap #2 or #3 type like Billingsley and a top 5 reliever.
