Lackey may have more control, but at the end of the day he's not better than Burnett as far as numbers go really.<br /><br />I'm still not impressed by Buchholz, but at least he's been a regular starter, which can't be said for either of our young guys. This season may determine a lot.Roberto E.

LESTER IS THE ACE OF THAT STAFF RIGHT NOW. HE...Gah. LESTER IS THE ACE OF THAT STAFF RIGHT NOW. HE IS BETTER THAN JOSH BECKETT, but he doesn't get the attention because he isn't a loud, obnoxious douchebag. I hate to say this because it means I am saying a Red Sock is better than a Yankee, especially a Yankee I am very fond of, but he absolutely blows Andy away. That's because Lester is probably a #1, definitely not a #3. Compare Lester to CC and it's a much closer debate (CC > Lester though). <br /><br />As for Burnett/Lackey, I think Burnett's high is much higher and his low is much lower. Their numbers will probably be pretty similar by the end of the year, except Burnett will have more strikeouts and walks cuz that's just AJ bein' AJ. <br /><br />Buchholz > Philoba Hughberlain at this point, but if either of those two, particularly Joba, ever reaches their potential, watch the hell out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
