Ryan Dempster - "If the Cubs add Jon Lester, they immediately become 15-20 wins better"

 

*In related news, Dempster projects Lester to pitch 500 innings next season, strike out 600 batters and only walk 30, while keeping his ERA until 1.00*

 

What an idiot.

Dempster speaks pretty well, but my god does he say some mind-boggling things.

Lester was great last year, but since when is he this incredible pitcher that everything thinks is an ace?

What Dempster just described is not an ace, it's whatever superlative is used to a player who has a season 2-3x that of what Clayton Kershaw and his measly 7 WAR produced last season. I realize he doesn't know he just suggested that, but saying a single player will add "xxx" amount of wins to your team is just asking for WAR to be used to evaluate your assertion.
