I guess I deserve the back splash. Something doesn't scream, greatest lefty over the next decade to me about Lester.Quote:

Who else is there?Quote:

Kershaw comes to mindQuote:

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.Quote:

ok
