thats tough....the value alone says to go with lester. But i like Johnson a lot. He put up nice numbers the 2nd half of last year, and so far is doing it again. When in doubt go with the NL pitcher

I'd stick with Johnson

please help

I think that Johnson is coming close to being a stud. With the marlins on a role right now, I would say keep Johnson. Also, Johnson put up some great numbers at the second half of the season, which only means that it should continue.

For some reason, I am also not a huge Lester fan. He is always leaving wanting more from his performances.

Both are solid options. Johnson is super hot right now, but I really like Lester's upside. I like his K's, I like that he's on a strong, competitive team that can back him up with wins.

It's a flip of the coin for me, but I like Lester.

Help on mine?

The reason he's offering Lester is the that both his starts have been bad...and his command was off in ST. Other than getting shelled for 5 runs in one inning, he wasn't bad the other night. I think he will settle down, and if the Sox start hitting (which they should), I think he has more upside. I'd do the trade. You have some great pitching anyway, so it can't really HURT you.
