Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Theo has commented on limited Lesters innings like he has with Buchholz, but still, I'm not concerned with Buchholz only being alotted 160-180. I expected as much. A midseason stop on the 15 day DL could probably take care of it. Schilling was going to do as much anyways. Maybe by then we can have a better read on Schill's progress and they can spell each other down the stretch.

Is this serious?
Lester's IP:
2004 - 91
2005 - 148.1
2006 - 128.1
2007 - 153
We're expecting a 30% increase in Lester's innings? I don't care who you are...that's a lot.
160, 175 is one thing. 200? Doubtful.
