I heard that last year in late September and was astonished by this. Mind boggling.BW23 wrote:I'd never heard/read this before today, but apparently Lester has issues throwing the ball to first. Not one attempted "pickoff" all last season.

It's all a Jedi mind trick - opening day, someone'll try and steal on him and be caught way out.

http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/ ... -day-startMESA, Ariz. - Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester could be "restricted" on Opening Day as he continues to build his pitch count up after missing a recent spring start due to arm fatigue. Lester didn't pitch Saturday against the Seattle Mariners but is still on pace to throw April 5 when the Cubs host the St. Louis Cardinals.
"He might somewhat be restricted regarding length in that first game," manager Joe Maddon said Tuesday.

At least that contract is almost over. Oops...
Proven pitchers and long contracts. Does it ever work out?
