If he doesn't get to 200 innings this year, I doubt that it will ever happen. He's a really great pitcher when healthy, but I don't think he will ever be a horse. An ace needs to be a horse.

I don't think anyone was going to send a collection agent to your house, but your buds will throw it up to you for as long as people remember. It's just part of the deal.
Lester's ERA is just ballooning. He's at 4.57 after tonight's performance. I view him as our #4 or 5 starter at this point with Dempster. Buch, Lackey and Doubront are the top 3.
