I say he is.
Kershaw is 11-2, but Max dominates major leagues in every other category.
I can't do a proper three year side by side comparison because Kershaw missed 1/2 season last year.
Check it out, Max hasn't missed a start in three years, has had a WH/IP of under 1.00 last 3 seasons which is sick.
Damn, Max is approaching Pedro Martinez elite.
