Question: Where should Clayton Kershaw live? Answer: In Apartment Complex "B", with the Dodgers! Each complex and its tenants is a veiled representation of an NL West team and its starting rotation, as per the initials of the tenants:
Complex A ≡ Diamondbacks
Barry Williams ≡ Brandon Webb
Dustin Hoffman ≡ Dan Haren
Michael O'Keefe ≡ Micah Owings
Raul Julia ≡ Randy Johnson
Complex B ≡ Dodgers
Harvey Keitel ≡ Hiroki Kuroda
Bill Paxton ≡ Brad Penny
Denis Leary ≡ Derek Lowe
Christian Bale ≡ Chad Billingsley
Complex C ≡ Giants
Ted Levine ≡ Tim Lincecum
Macaulay Culkin ≡ Matt Cain
James Spader ≡ Jonathan Sanchez
Billy Zane ≡ Barry Zito
Complex D ≡ Padres
Robert Wagner ≡ Randy Wolf
Gabriel Macht ≡ Greg Maddux
Chow Yun-Fat ≡ Chris Young
Jason Patric ≡ Jake Peavy
As per my 3rd hint, I wanted to be complete and include all 5 NL West teams, but alas I could not find a Hollywood equivalent for Rockies starter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Quad "The Puzzle Yoda" Sevens (I'm willing to bet that five-word sequence has never before been uttered in the 14 billion years of the universe's history) once again solves this one - this time after the 2nd hint - and SoSG's own Orel after the 3rd hint. Congrats guys.
Next puzzle June 23!

Ubaldo Jimenez looks like he's the only player in baseball reference with the initials U J.
R U Jesting?
My brain hurts.
