Poll Results: Fans say Lester will post the lowest ERA
Written by Rob Munstis

A few weeks back you guys picked Jon Lester to be the staff ace in 2010, so no one should be surprised that he was also chosen to lead the team in ERA this season. But what was surprising was that he won in a landslide, earning 75% of your votes.

Equally surprising was that Matsuzaka earned more votes that Beckett. Dice-K has alot to prove this season and posted a 2.90 ERA in 2008, but Beckett is pitching for a big contract... it will be interesting to see if Matsuzaka rewards the faith of those who voted for him.

For reference, Bill James predicts the following:

Beckett: 15-9, 3.62 ERA

Lackey: 13-10, 3.81 ERA

Lester: 13-10, 3.84 ERA

Buchholz: 10-8, 3.91 ERA

Matsuzaka: 12-10, 4.02 ERA

Wakefield: 6-5, 4.03 ERA (16 starts)

If you beilive James, it will be a tight race, but he feels Beckett will finally break the curse of the even-numbered year.

Thanks to everyone who voted.
