This dude is Randy Johnson Part Deux. Tell me where I'm wrong.
Kershaw might be Maddux and Randy Johnson combined right now. 88 strikeouts to 4 walks.
Not to take anything away from Sale, he's phenomenal. I think he's certainly established himself as the best pitcher in the AL by now, and possibly the 2nd best pitcher in all of MLB. His strikeouts are actually down (especially from last year, where he struck out 11.8 per 9 IP; this year, it's a mere 8.2). I don't think he's at his best right now, as scary as it sounds.
Kershaw is Koufax. He still has electric stuff and one of the best benders in baseball. Maddux couldn't break a pane of glass, but he could shave off all four corners. Kershaw is not quite there yet with regards to his impeccable control.
