A lot of people don't realize just how good Kershaw has been in his career, and last year he had one of the better pitching performances you will see. Last year, 21-5 with a 2.28 233 1/3 innings 248 Ks and 5 CGs. He won the Cy Young for the NL that year, a Gold Glove, and won the Pitching Triple Crown. At just 24 years old that is pretty amazing, and he hasn't slowed down this year 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA.
It's funny on the East Coast you just don't hear about this guy as much as you should. Part of it could just be the East Coast bias, and I guess some of it can be that in Boston we just don't give a shit about the NL, but this guy is amazing.
