What I'm really wondering though if this is more of a 'Shut down' than an injury problem... He seems to get us in a position to make the post season each season, and then when we're comfortable, he get's a strain or something. Then he's magically back when we need him again.
I wonder if we're just trying to keep the mileage down on him... I'm used to that in the NBA so maybe it's a little too 'tinfoil hat' for the MLB, but I was just wondering.
Neddy has been leading the conversation about shutting down Kershaw to keep him fresh for the postseason, but I don't think the Dodgers could convince him to fake an injury knowing the type of competitor he is. Then again, maybe that is why he was so somber during interviews right after the injury. Still, I'm not convinced unless a report from a respected journalist says otherwise.
