any of you Jon Lester owners out there should drop him this week. he will continue to crush your whip and era. very overated pitcher. cut your losses before it's too late!

Someone needs to sit that guy down and tell him when you throw the ball over the plate people do not get good swings on you....

I have watched him a lot having him in 2 nfbc leagues-IMO it is not a matter of mechanics with him as much as being scared. He also fields his position terribly.

I almost sat him for tonight obviously wish I would have.

I was looking through the boxes over the last several days and besides the low BA trend, another trend I think I am seeing is more free passes this year than I remember noticing in years past. I do not have any hard numbers (yet), just an impression. Might just be an April thing (I hope), but I just don't recall quite so many and not just from my pitchers.
