Should I trade Tim Lincecum for Jon Lester?

---

---

Just to clarify for some people, I would be getting Lester. The guy that has Lester is offering anyone on his pitching staff for Lincecum so I could also trade for Justin Verlander, Carlos Zambrano, Barry Zito, Jered Weaver, Mark Buerhle, and Scott Kazmir. So should I make the trade?

Take a few rocky starts from Lincecum now.. he will get better and be a top 3 pitching in the league come the end of the season... DONT TRADE

Pedroia, Others Arrive to Camp Early

Early arrivals to camp shows fans that this group of Sawx are ready to dominate the AL East and bring another championship to the city of Boston in 2011.

Six days before position players are due to report to spring training, MVP second baseman Dustin Pedroia was present for batting practice. After suffering for a left foot injury and missing most of last season, Pedroia is confident that his foot is fully healed and that he will be patrolling 2nd base on Opening Day. Not only does he bring power numbers to the plate but his defense in the field has been essential to the team's past successes.

Other position players that reported early include anticipated starting catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, newly acquired first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, and moving across the diamond former first baseman and new third baseman Kevin Youkilis.

Many pitchers also reported to camp early this year. Starters Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, John Lackey, and Daisuke Matsuzaka were seen on the field working out. Also Jonathan Papelbon and Daniel Bard have been seen in the club's Player Development Complex in Fort Myers, FL.

General Manager Theo Epstein said, "We're looking forward to the start of Spring Training. It hasn't even started yet. We're excited. It's great to be down here. It was a brutal winter up north and all around the country. We see a lot of early arrivals. I know we say this every year, but everyone I've seen looks to be in great shape and we're all excited to get going."
