The first time we heard about Clayton Kershaw it came from a man who also posts on here. I believe Kershaw was a soph or junior in HS at the time. I'm not sure if the guy who told us about Kershaw's potential visited here back in those days, but I try to keep close track of people who brag up players. It becomes very important the next time we hear the same person talking about players.

In this case, I found out that this person was someone to trust when it came to evaluating players. I've met many others, some who even post here, that I also trust when they tell us about players. Then there are others who talk and brag about players and when the results are in you realize what happened. Then you don't place a lot of credibility into what they say the next time.

BTW, the first time we ever heard Clayton Kershaw's name associated with being one of the best, the information came from... Ken Guthrie! Ken is sometimes a controversial poster, mostly in the Texas forum. When it comes to evaluating talent he has great credibility as far as I'm concerned. That observation is not based on just this one case, but on every single player he has ever told us about.

Ken - this was recently posted in the general forum. Congrats, that is a nice compliment from a reputable poster.

Kershaw will be up soon enough. One reason he's not up now is the presence of Japanese import Hiroki Kuroda, who showed why the Dodgers laid out $35.3 million to sign him by pitching even better than Kershaw on Sunday, if that's possible.

As for scouts, the only people getting checked out were some of the moms.

Didn't notice any Stalkers but some Jugs caught my attention.
