2009-05-18 14:00:00	Have we seen the best of Jon Lester, or is this just a temporary bump in the road? (mattymatty from Philly)	I'll admit to being a Lester believer, but I accept that many of my colleagues disagree and have suggested that we've seen his best work. I think his PECOTA comps are appropriately suggestive, given his age; I see Bob Knepper '79 or Tom Glavine '91, and I figure the upside play's worth dreaming on, even while I'd admit that it's a reach.
