Lester had 1 bad season. Other than that he has been a 20 million/year pitcher since 2008. I like Lesters build, he probably will be effective until his middle 30's. My only concern is the guy has had zero injury problems. This is normally a great thing but you have to wonder at some point in a 5 year contract if he will need TJS. It's a gamble, but for a guy like Lester,a proven 1A who takes it up to 1 level in the postseason, I pay him. 5 at 100, or maybe 6/110 gets this thing done.
