Clayton Kershaw has been the face of the Dodgers for as long as anyone can remember. His longevity has been incredible to watch, despite injuries taking their toll over the last few years.
Even this season, when he has been healthy, he has been one of the best pitchers in the game. And as the season starts to wind down, Kershaw knows that he is going to be counted on massively come playoff time for this team.
With the way that the LA starting rotation has shaken out, Kershaw is likely going to be one of the only veteran pitchers.
