National broadcasts are the absolute [expletive] worst about stories like this; Kruk and Schilling flat out said they don't know how teams didn't notice Lester not throwing over this year like it was a fact. OF COURSE teams noticed it before this year, you dopes. This isn't some kind of crippling problem that needs to, as they put it, "be handled before the playoffs." Like half of the steals on him this year are courtesy of a single player, so no, I seriously doubt it's something they need to worry about unless Hamilton gets traded to a different team.
