Clayton kershaw is the most dominant pitcher ive ever seen...I'm 30 yrs old the only 1 i can compare is pedro martinez of 99-2000 but kershaw is better than that...How come we can never get a pitcher like this?...our first rounders we draft high have talent but our mental pussies...and hide when the going get tough...The jury is still out on bundy and gausman since bundy has been set down for tommy john and gausman is probably on his way to tommy john...

in a state of amazement and happy we didnt have to face him when we played the dodgers...with this line-up he would have hit us with the perfect game on 83 pitches

Rowell was awesome. NJs finest.

Hobgood seems like it was a decade ago, matusz doesn't seem to be mentally tough enough to be worth the number 1...so I'm calling bust...I'm pretty sure somebody from that draft after rowell has made it, maybe the guy taken after him, lincecum...while it seems he was a flash in the pan now but he was a multi - cy young award winner, max scherzer after that, etc.

I'm not saying we missed and should have drafted him...I'm just saying it seems the guys we draft as first rd pitchers...ARE NEVER ADEQUATE let alone kershaw's level

Hmmm...just how many pitchers like Kershaw have been drafted in the 1st round since 2006?

Just wondering. With 30 1st round picks every year over the last 7 years, there must be lots of pitchers like Kershaw. Right?

Still young in career but for a 2/3 yr span lincecum was like kershaw
