I will take back a little bit of it though. Lester is only 24. The fact that he has been able to put up league average numbers at young ages is great. He could probably have some very good peak years.
This certainly puts him in a select group of pitchers. Most of best pitchers of this generation (Clemens, Glavine, Maddox, Schilling) never got one.

didn't mean to jump on you for the 'average' thing. it is weird how anabel sanchez can get one but schilling and pedro can't. so much is luck. what isn't luck is that Varitek caught 4 of them, tha dude takes his job seriously!
