Basically, put another way, is Jon Lester a No. 3 starter on a world champion?
When Curt Schilling was officially put on IR for three to four months, maybe longer, this became a question.

With a new, multi-million dollar contract in hand, he is the man.
Most would agree his [...]
That’s right. Another loaded question.
Johan Santana looks like a Cy Young Award winner on opening day and the Sox have questions marks at the starting pitcher position. His 100 pitches in seven innings is something we haven’t seen much of around here outside of Josh Beckett.
