FACTS/FLUKES: Kershaw, Pollock, D. Norris, Haren, Panik
Jun 7 2015
Don't worry about Kershaw ... With $35+ in 5x5 production every year from 2011-14, Clayton Kershaw (LHP, LA) has been in a class of his own. Kershaw was a consensus top-five pick in 2015 drafts, and while rare for a pitcher, his elite consistency warranted such a move. But Kershaw's 3.36 ERA has been mere mortal thus far in 2015. Any reason to panic?
