I had a brain freeze in thinking that Dempster is lefthanded. Nevermind. OK, give me a failing grade on the previous post. I had a brain freeze in thinking that Dempster is lefthanded.

Like Lee and Dempster, he is a LHP. The old baseball saying is that lefthand pitchers take longer to develop. Any truth to it?

But he's done well since. I think he was maligned as a closer even though he did a decent job. I'm glad he worked his way back as a good starter, especially after reading how he busted his butt in the offseason to get in shape.
