Nice Jonah job. AJ is bound to throw a gem today now that you made the above post. :lolBIG:
Seriously, while those stats are telling, they certainly do not preclude Yanks win today. I am anxious to see how Jon Lester is going to perform in what for him is a very stern test and an important opportunity to launch the 2010 season off with a bang. I have more confidence in John Lackey pitching well on Wednesday than on any thing happening in this series..
Early April in Fenway is tough on all pitchers, young, old, stars or average Joe's..An outstanding performance out of Lester will send a signal to The American League that sweeping the Bosox will not be easy with their staff.
The beauty is the top four are all signed to the clup from now until mid decade. That includes Clay Bucholtz who still has not reached arbitration yet and plans on being part of the team for several more seasons.
Sox rotation salary and years remaining on contract.
John Lackey: Signed through 2014 for $82.5 million.
Josh Beckett: Signed through 2014 for $80 million.
Jon Lester: Signed through 2013 for $28.75 million with a $13 million option for 2014.
Daisuke Matsuzaka: Signed through 2012 for $28 million
Tim Wakefield: Signed through 2011 for $5 million
