In a poll of
MLB.com writers,
Jon Lester is ranked number one in the first annual Free Agent Confidence Rankings. Lester's age (30), left-handedness, durability and playoff credentials put him ahead of fellow 30-year old
Max Scherzer. Another former
Carmine Hoser,
Andrew Miller, finished third in the confidence rankings, with ex-Sox farmhand
Hanley Ramirez is the #20 spot. This week could be crucial in deciding whether Lester goes to the Cubbies (where he is having meetings) and his
Olde Towne Team.
