Clayton Kershaw chatted with fans over at ESPN.

Clayton have you learned any new pitches or are you staying with your old ones?

Clayton Kershaw (1:01 PM)

My main focus this offseason has been working on my changeup. I've always had that pitch, but I've never been confident throwing it. That's what I'm focusing on.

Indeed, Kershaw threw his change only 4.2% of the time last year, and it wasn't very effective despite its rarity. He seemed to toy with a slider last year, and it worked with great success at times. Adding a fourth pitch like a change could be what eventually vaults Kershaw into stardom.

Is it a great feeling to be playing with Manny?

Clayton Kershaw (1:11 PM)

It's great. I really respect Manny as a player. Just the way he carries himself in a clubhouse, he makes the game fun, joking around. Everyone can relate to him--we're playing baseball, it's a fun sport, and he brings that atmosphere with him.

This could be just typical lip service, but i'm pretty sure this is an accurate portrayal of how Manny is seen within the confines of the locker room. The media might care a ton about whatever antics Manny has participated in, but besides a few blowhard players (like Curt Schilling types or whatever), I highly doubt it affects how he's thought of in the clubhouse.

Pluto. Planet or Kuiper belt object?

Clayton Kershaw (1:13 PM)

I don't know if you know this or not, but my great-uncle discovered Pluto, so I'll stick with his definition of it as a planet.

굉장히 짧지만...체인지업 연마에 무엇보다 공을 들이고 있다 하니 본인의 네번째 무기가 되길 바랍니다.

갠적으로 슬라이더보다는 챈졉 위주로 가는게 부상위험이 적가 때문에......

메츠가 에스코바 로또 긁고 피네이로를 쫓을 수도 있어 보이는데..... 우리 4선발은 대체 누굴 빼올지,,,,,,
