I would think guys like Bumgarner, Price, C.C. (probably regressing as well), Kazmir, Hamels, Happ, Sanchez, Brett Anderson, Clayton Kershaw, Holland, Danks, Lee, hell even Martin Perez....
Point is, there are several other lefties that I think could possibly have a better decade than Lester. I think any of the above guys could almost as easily be discussed as possibly having a better decade than Lester. But hey, if I could predict the future, I would be a very rich man.

Most of those guys are unproven, haven't had Lester's success, or are in their 30's.
All of those guys COULD end up as the top lefty, just like there's many first basemen that could end up as the top first basemen besides Prince Fielder...but, given Lester's combination of youth, established success and positive trends, I think he's the safest pick.
