Padres News: Matt Kemp Nearing 100 RBI; First Padres OF Since 1998

You might not think that Greg Vaughn and Matt Kemp have much in common. Matt Kemp once had 40/40 potential, while Greg Vaughn had 121 stolen bases in a fifteen year career(which honestly surprised me). Yet with two more RBI Matt Kemp will be the first Padres outfielder since Greg Vaughn to achieve 100 RBI in a season. Greg Vaughn did it back in 1998.

This really is no small feat. Chase Headley was the last Padre to achieve the milestone and keep in mind that in 2014 Jedd Gyorko led the Padres with just 51 RBI and Seth Smith led the outfield corps with 48 RBI.
