Regression may have been too strong a word, I only meant that I don't think Kemp is a .320 hitter. He may be .270-.280 and that's great, for a 4th outfielder who can play second. He will be very useful in the postseason as a pinch runner, but you are not going to pinch hit for someone with Kemp. I'm not trying to knock the guy, just saying I wouldn't mind bringing in a veteran hitter to bring off the bench, if needed, in the postseason. They may be ok with one of White/Davis/Fisher, Davis is the one I like going forward, and if he comes back up at some point and hits well then I'm fine with him being that guy.
As for Marwin, if he ends but having numbers anywhere close to what they were last year, the Astros might get priced out of the market. He has a ton of value and teams are going to want to add him and some team(s) will be willing to go pretty high. Ben Zobrist went for 4/56 at age 35. If I'm Marwin, that's what I'm starting at and if I'm the Astros I can't go that high.
