Kershaw to Start on Saturday?
Published 5/23/2008 by DodgerFan at dodgerfan.net
The kid was pulled from his start tonight after only one inning (striking out two). Hmm.  It kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it?  It makes Ken Gurnick wonder too! Personally, I’m hoping Kershaw starts Sunday, as Dodgerfan will be at the Ravine for a little Sunday baseball.  Maybe we can arrange a little Dodger Blogger Reunion over some adult beverages with our pals Sax and Orel from Sons of Steve Garvey and Erin from Beantown West.

Pick up Clayton Kershaw!

Breaking news! Ken Gurnick of Dodgers.com is all over this situation as it appears Clayton Kershaw may get the call to start for the Dodgers on Saturday. I've maintained all along that Kershaw was most likely to be brought up some time on or around June 12 -- along with guys like Bruce and Rasmus -- so the club could save a year of arbitration service time. In addition to that, Kershaw only turned 20 years old during spring training, so why rush him?

Dodger Thoughts: Kershaw Watch Gets Wacky
Published 5/23/2008 at Baseball Toaster
Thursday's game with Jacksonville wasn't the first time prospect Clayton Kershaw had a one-inning outing. It's public knowledge that the Dodgers want to limit his workload during the first part of the season. Nevertheless, the shortened stint helped encourage Ken Gurnick of MLB.com to speculate that Kershaw could be coming up to the Dodgers on Tuesday (the next time the team needs a fifth starter). Some have even wondered if he will come up Saturday, to give Brad Penny more rest. Maybe this will happen, but I think it's worth emphasizing that a) neither Chan Ho Park nor ...

More Rampant Clayton Kershaw Speculation!
Published 5/23/2008 by Will Brinson at FanHouse
Filed under: Los Angeles, Dodgers, NL West, MLB Rumors, MLB Transactions, Fantasy MLBThe Jacksonville Suns did that thing where they pull a stud prospect pitcher early even though he is fine and pitching well. I say "that thing" because such a manuever is usually followed by a call-up to the major leagues. And that's the news coming out of Dodger-land as well, with Clayton Kershaw dealing and the Dodgers making a run in the NL West. Beginning with Tuesday's game in Chicago, the Dodgers will need a fifth starter on almost a traditional five-day rotation through the All-Star break. The last time the spot came up ...
