So far he has been better, but still with room for improvement, but this type of outing really solidifies in my mind that he has the tools to be able to compete at a high level and be effective as a mid-rotation type of guy. I was never in favor of the Santana deal, not because of the prospects aspect of it but more so the money concerns, but this last start really made me appreciate the Sox brass a little more for sticking to their guns and not making a deal. Here’s hoping for more continued success from our draft classes, starting tonight with Masterson’s spot start.

For example, in our league I dropped him simply because the league is shallow enough that there are better pitchers available on waivers that will give me more consistent production. If Lester sorts it out and strings together a couple of good starts, he'll always have a home with me. In two of my deeper leagues, I am holding onto him since there simply isn't anyone available to replace him should I drop him, and he isn't exactly driving up his trade value with starts like the last one. Basically, the deeper your league, the more value Lester has right now based simply on the fact that there won't be any good replacements and he is on a good team.
