Clayton Kershaw is God. These guys are on a completely different level because they actually OWN God.
Clayton Kershaw Killers

Bench:
2B Howie Kendrick 6/15 .400/.400/.400

OF Pat Burrell 7/21 .333/.385/.619
UTIL Scott Hairston 9/28 .321/.321/.357
SS Willie Bloomquist 5/13 .385/.429/.385
OF Marlon Byrd 4/14 .429/.429/.429
The totals come to 124/329, a whooping .377. The last player to hit at least .377 in a season was Larry Walker in 1999.
Some other observations:
-Dexter Fowler bats .299 vs LHP, and a large part of that is due to the fact he destroys Clayton Kershaw. You read that right. In fact, of all pitchers Fowler has faced at least 15 times, only Trevor Cahill (.500), Paul Maholm (.450), and Luke Gregerson (.444) have done worse vs him.
-Adam Dunn has hit 4 home runs off Kershaw, more than any other player. Three of his five outs are strike outs.
-Albert Pujols is a machine. And Kershaw is scared. Only Matt Holliday (10) has more walks vs Kershawk than Pujols (7).
-Adam Wainwright has faced Kershaw 10 times. Adam Wainwright has more walks vs Kershaw than he has strikeouts. Adam Wainwright has a double and 2 RBIs vs Kershaw. This dominance is not just one-sided. Kershaw is 0/7 vs Wainwright. Kershaw wakes up in the middle of the night sweating because of Adam Wainwright.
-How about some love for Pat Burrell and Miguel Tejada?
I bet the San Diego Padres wish they had a couple of these guys on their team.
