Lackey was a contender for worst starter in baseball last year. Of course Lester is better than him. If Darvish can stay healthy and not tip his pitches he will be a solid 3 starter. He's nothing more, though. His ERA has steadily rose each of the past 4 seasons. And as I mentioned before, who's going to pitch for him come playoff time? Hand movement in the glove = offspeed, no hand movement = fastball. It's amazing to me too.
Funny, hasn't your Dodgers ace been accused of not showing up in the postseason himself?
