"This is where I wanted to be. It happened kind of fast. They started talking about the numbers, and, 'Oh my God, for real?' It was kind of cool. It was a fun process, but I also had to ask myself, 'Am I really in this position right now?' All I could think about was being a sixth-round pick, not sure if I even wanted to play baseball, and now I was getting a long-term deal. For me it was a dream. I still pinch myself, because I've got nothing to worry about but play baseball and win games. I can take care of my family, and there's no stress." - Matt Kemp on MLB.com (Ken Gurnick, 'For Kemp and Kershaw, committment was easy', Source)
