Wasn't Lester the one with the yips and the inability to throw the ball to 1st to pick off runners?  And then he somehow picked off Zimm who was dancing all over 1st in the NLDS?  If so, let's hope that fixed his issues...
The fact that he picked off Zimmerman doesn't mean he's fixed. First off, Zimmerman was taking way too big a lead (he assumed Lester wouldn't throw over), Lester could have run over and tagged him. Second, he threw it it on a bounce. It was deliberate and planned.  I don't think that's sustainable.
