I see it as a push either way. Kershaw gives up too many walks to be consistent throughout the year while Beckett is terrible for some months and then transforms into the best pitcher in baseball the month after before reverting to form. Between the two I would prefer Kershaw since he doesn't need to pitch in the AL East.
I would keep Kershaw. You play to win, not to finish in 4th place. Beckett is more stable, but Kershaw has the ability to be more dominant than Beckett.
It depends on your team a bit, but I rather Beckett 1 for 1. Kershaw should be solid, but he seems like a head case in h2h. I almost got him and glad I didn't. Beckett is starting off slow, but you know where he stands.
