Clayton Kershaw

Of course it's not fair that a 23 year old is constantly compared to Sandy Koufax.  But Koufax retired four years before I was born, so I'm perfectly happy to root for him to be the Koufax of the current generation.  He's certainly not disappointed this season, putting himself at the head of the Cy Young Award discussion with a month to go, in a league that includes Halladay, Lee and Lincecum. It's amazing that the Dodgers have a potential Cy Young winner and MVP, Matt Kemp, in a season that sees them struggling to reach the .500 mark.  I hope we have a chance to see Kershaw on the mound in Dodger Blue in a World Series someday.
