The first half of our ongoing Red Sox Madness tournament is in the books and #1 seed Dustin Pedroia will represent the offense against the winner of today’s Josh Beckett/Jon Lester matchup in the final. Pedroia took fellow tablesetter Jacoby Ellsbury down with relative ease in the first Final Four matchup. Ellsbury’s cinderella run came to an end after knocking off #2 seed Jason Bay and #1 seed David Ortiz.
Today we turn our attention to the starting rotation as we pit #1 seeds Jon Lester and Josh Beckett against each other in a battle that should enlighten Red Sox Nation’s perspective on the “true ace”. Which starting pitcher is more important to the overall team’s success?
Remember, the simple question is “who’s success is more important to the overall success of the Boston Red Sox in 2009?” Vote away!
Please feel free to battle your opinions out in the comments and enjoy the Madness!
