Clayton Kershaw

Highly touted prospect, who I have mentioned numerous times, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers made his major league debut at the age of 20 last night against the Cardinals. His final line (6IP, 5H, 2ER, 1BB, and 7K's) was very impressive but at the same time what was expected from this young pitcher.

I can not say this enough to my friends or anyone who has asked me about Kershaw and using a first waiver priority pick on this guy, PICK THIS GUY UP!! Look at his potential and upside. He can put up 9+K/9 inning numbers easily and produce some needed lowering of ERA/WHIP for owners. This kind of pitcher doesn't come along every single year. With the kind of numbers this kid can produce on the mound all fantasy owners should be drooling over the prospects of grabbing him. So, don't even hesitate go out and grab him NOW!!

His 2008 season stats in AAA have proved to be on track to what scouts/management expected. Also, some interesting news, the Dodgers organization has kept his innings to a minimum because they were interested in bringing him up sometime during the season. Down in AAA they kept his innings to 25 per month.

To the ones who are lucky enough to grab him, enjoy his services!
