“Avg. over past 2 seasons: 18 W, 239 K, 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP”

 

“A young workhorse with incredible stuff in a pitcher's park, Kershaw should now have solid run support.”

 

“Kershaw had a bad season at a 2.53 ERA and 223 Ks. That's how good he is and he will bounce back and be unhittable in 2013. The Dodgers offense will provide him with an easy 20 wins. Take him with confidence.”

Kershaw is still maturing at the age of 25 and pitches in a better pitcher?s park. When comparing both Verlander and Kershaw, although they have similar stats over the past 2 years, I feel that Verlander is the easier pitcher to project from a statistical standpoint. Which Kershaw will we see this season? Will we see stats from Kershaw ...”
