Or that he will succeed in the majors. <BR/><BR/>But in two of his last three starts he hasn't been able to go further that five innings. He's also shown a "one-up, one-down" rhythm in his last five starts, which is what you'd expect from someone rehabbing.<BR/><BR/>I'd rather he have a little more time to come back 100%. We don't need him now; we will come September.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416608758785325468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705108.post-60614258848875575532007-06-21T15:26:00.000+01:002007-06-21T15:26:00.000+01:00No sir, I would not.

Lester has shown enough both last season and in his rehab that he can handle pitching in the big leagues.Cormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021609342106260202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705108.post-41031529616380655282007-06-21T14:25:00.000+01:002007-06-21T14:25:00.000+01:00Wouldn't you rather see Gabbard come up and give L...Wouldn't you rather see Gabbard come up and give Lester a little more time to get ready?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416608758785325468noreply@blogger.com
