Buchholz may be finally on the mend which has huge repercussions for the Sox. He is the only pitcher that qualifies as a #1. After him, the Sox have three 2/3's in Lackey, Peavy and Dubront. At this point, I would say that Lester and Dempster are in the 4/5 category. Based on performance, if the Red Sox get into the post-season, Lester might not get a post-season start. And I know that this will never happen, but he could be left off the roster because Dempster has bull pen experience. I know he will be a sentimental favorite to start a game if the Red Sox make the post-season but does his performance so far warrant it?
