Of qualified SPs in baseball, Lester gets 6.07 runs of support per start. Gibson gets 6.15. 11-10 with an ERA over 5.00 (and a FIP close to 5 as well) His numbers look practically identical to last year. About as close to a mirror image as possible. Same amount of innings, same ERA, little higher FIP, practically the same K/9, BB/9 and WHIP. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10123&position=P#standard Whiff of success? There's a whiff alright :-)
