Clayton Kershaw 2

Kershaw was very impressive this season by finishing with the 5th best ERA in the NL. However, as one of the youngest players in baseball this season, the Dodgers were cautious with him and didn't allow him to throw a lot of pitches in many of his starts. That inability to last longer into games led to a mediocre 8-8 record. So despite being the best pitcher on a playoff team, I don't think Kershaw is ready for Cy Young consideration. However, the guy appears to be a stud and should be a Cy Young contender very soon.
