Kershaw..

Watching MLB Network and John Smoltz said that Kershaw is a first ballot HOF'er. I say slow your roll. He has been a great regular season pitcher, but I think his struggles in the post season will drop him down a bit. He is 12 and 12 in the playoffs, 2 and 2 in the WS.

lmao

And if we're going to bring up W-L and postseason...

He has as many rings as Randy Johnson, Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine, Pedro Martinez, Nolan Ryan, Fergie Jenkins,. He has more rings than Roy Halladay, Mike Mussina, Phil Niekro, and Juan Marichal, just to name a few.

Randy Johnson was 7-9 in the postseason. Maddux was 11-14, Glavine was 14-16

Nice troll, subtle, someone might fall for it. I'm rooting for you.

Chris Carpenter and Jon Lester for HOF!!11!

HOF'er for sure. But imo, not 1st ballot.

You either belong in the HOF or you don't. 1st ballot is a stupid concept.

He’s 13-12 in the playoffs. And 3-2 in the WS.

I’m sure that changes your stance, right?

Plus, he has one post season save.

Lead pipe cinch for first ballot, you're nuts.

Dude's only 33 and has almost 72 WAR already. Plus 3 Cy Youngs, a freaking MVP as a pitcher, a WS title, even a Gold Glove. Career 2.48 ERA, 155 ERA+ (!) 27th already on all time strikeout list.

For as much as I have dogged Kershaw for his postseason struggles, especially early in his career....there is no doubt in my mind he is a 1st ballot HOF. I don't think that should even be a question, I mean if Kirby Puckett was a 1st ballot...Kershaw should be
