A pitcher's arm is a lot like a rifle barrel which only has
so many shots in its life, and in Clayton Kershaw's case, it's more like a long
distance precision rifle barrel because of his excellent pitching mechanics
(better mechanics than King Felix of the Seattle Mariners that was signed to a
comparable contract that's going to be possibly offered to Kershaw) AND Kershaw is a left-hander (icing on the cake).
Conclusion: Signing a LHP with near perfect mechanics like Kershaw and with the
inflationary trend of contacts that free agent premium pitchers are pulling
down currently, makes sense. Also, signing Kershaw to an extension now at what the Dodgers are
offering, is not the financial gamble like the Seattle Mariners made
with "King" Felix Hernandez. In fact, it's a smart move.
