Jul 21 Tony Jackson, of the Los Angeles Daily News, reports the Los Angeles Dodgers will recall SP Clayton Kershaw from Double-A Jacksonville so he can start Tuesday, July 22.

Even though he was marginal at best his first time around, do you give him another shot?

If you have a marginal pitcher on your rotation, then why not? He's an elite talent regardless of his performance during his first call-up, and it's quite possible that he could "figure it out" this time.

Super prospects like Kershaw won't always uplift a team during a call-up--some need to adjust to the MLB-level. But when they do... oh boy. :-L

On a side note, I find it hilarious cbssportsline's fantasy site is always last to receive or post news. I think the pigeon's will arrive to their headquarters tomorrow to deliver them the message...

I'll definitely give him another shot...but not tonight at Coors Field!

Do not start him tonight in Denver. its like 1000 degrees out and the ball FLIES in the hot weather here.

I'd pick up Kershaw but I wouldn't judge him based off tonight's start as there's a good chance he'll be more suspect than usual. If anything, I'd check his pitch efficiency and control.
