However, the optimist will point out between June and August, Lester's K/9 was 8.3, essentially his career average. This is not to say he's going to carry that level all of the 2013 campaign, only that there's something to hang your hat on along with the return of his former pitching coach John Farrell, albeit as manager. Lester's velocity is normal and there is no hint of injury, so if you're looking for a bounceback candidate, Lester is a prime candidate.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":4.5,"playerRater15DAY":0.6,"positionRank":48}
