Which Jon Lester in 2008?

Lester has quietly slid into the #3 starter role. Can he handle it?

The novelty of watching the Sox play in Japan wore off with my alarm blaring at 5:45 for the second morning in a row. I'd like to see Jon Lester pick up where he left off in Game 4 of the World Series, but I'm afraid he'll revert to finessing the strike zone and averaging 25 or so pitches per inning rather than coming right at the Oakland lineup. Let's hope he can build on his strong '07 finish and keep that velocity up, along with his confidence.
