Bill Plaschke: Let's hope this is not the last year of Clayton Kershaw in a Dodgers uniform
PEORIA, Ariz. - In any other year, this trip would have felt like a complete waste of time.
I rolled into Peoria Sports Complex on Sunday afternoon to check out Clayton Kershaw's first Los Angeles Dodgers start of the spring, and it lasted about five minutes.
Typical Kershaw. Looked like June. Needed 11 pitches. Retired three Seattle Mariners big leaguers. None of them made good contact. It was over before it started. Yawn.
In any other year, this day would be a bore, but this year is different. This year, the mere sight of Kershaw standing on a mound is worth seeing, whenever possible, wherever possible.
