migration patterns worldwide
A very topical subject at present is how people move into and from countries. Some great resources for teachers to show how migration patterns vary across the globe are as follows|:
- People moving This visualizes the number of people migrating in and out of individual countries.
The International Organisation for Migration map shows emigration and immigration to and from countries around the world.

How many Britons does it take to make a sandwich? Not applicable - we need Hungarians to do it!
This article in the Daily Mail followed the headline on Monday (10/11/14) that the sandwich supplier to M&S and Tesco had to look to Eastern Europe for workers to staff a new factory. And the reason, apparently, is that British workers are "too lazy". Of course there is more to it than that but the combination of UK workers' reluctance to do low-paid manual labour and the higher wages Eastern Europeans can expect compared to those in their home countries has lead to the situation that commands such headlines.
This article is essential reading for any geographers studying migration. Also, this short report from Channel 4 news is a certain worth watching.
Tube tongues: mapping languages at London tube stops
This interactive map showing the most common second languages spoken at London tube stations is fascinating and provides a wealth of information to explore. It was created by Oliver O'Brien who is a researcher in geovisualisation and web mapping at University College London's geography department. The links with different school geography courses at GCSE and AS/A2 level are many and this map will encourage enquiry amongst students.

Carbon Capture: phasing out fossil fuels whilst burying the evidence
The recent report on the world's climate scenario presented a hard-hitting warning that if the nations of the world don't act swiftly to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, then "severe, pervasive and irreversible damage" can be expected from incontrovertible climate change. The report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) hit headlines around the world. The message: reduce fossil-fuel reliance to less than that from renewables by 2050, and completely by 2100.read more...»
2100 - no more fossil fuels
Our planet is 4.5 billion years old and so the year 2100 is just a geological blink of an eye away. Yet the Intergovernmental panel on climate change believes that our reliance on fossil fuels, that is the burning of coal, oil and gas should all but be phased out by this date.read more...»

Rip currents - Australia's deadliest natural hazard
As a keen open water swimmer I am more than aware of the dangers that rip currents pose. Rip currents are very strong, narrow channels that can pull swimmers, canoeists, kayakers and surfers away from the shore.
Research on Australia has also revealed that these dangerous ocean currents are the nations deadliest natural hazard - ahead of floods and bushfires.
This short video from the BBC (which can be accessed here) explains why.
Ocean Acidification: Dipping a toe in changing waters.
The chief UK scientist was reported, this week, expressing serious concern about the the impacts of climate change and carbon emissions on the state of the planet's oceans. Whilst increased air temperatures have generated most discussion, there are significant changes occurring in the seas which, covering 70% of the planet, could be having a widespread impact on complex marine ecosystems that we're only just starting to explore.read more...»

Less Arctic Ice; More Antarctic Ice - What's Cooking?
Climate change scientists have been puzzling over what is happening at the opposite Poles of the earth. Whilst there has been a recognisable medium-term contraction of summer Arctic sea-ice at the North Pole, the South Pole has been experiencing an increase in sea-ice to record levels this year.
Attempting to explain this apparent contradiction is guiding climate experts to a deeper understanding of the factors involved in climate change processes and impactsread more...»

Population pyramids past present and future
Population structures are graphical representations of the population of countries. These structures/pyramids change subject to time and the conditions in a country. The following resources help us to understand how they change.
The below Ted-Ed Talk compares the Population structures of three countries Rwanda, Canada and Japan and how current population trends can predict future populations.
The following sciencemag resource allows you to chose any two countries in the world and shows the changes in population structure from 1970 to 2050. Population structure changes
The last useful resource for showing how population structures are ever-changing is the World Population Pyramid which shows the entire worlds population and how its structure has shifted through time and how it will change into the future.
Technology and Development - Mongolian Herders
A hat-tip to Graham Watson who spotted this terrific short video from the World Bank which illustrates quite beautifully how technology can aid development.
In 2005, less than 30% of soum centers (villages) in rural Mongolia had reliable telecommunications. By 2013, 100% has access to modern phone and Internet services. Take a look at how the lives of Mongolian herders have been changed by this.read more...»
World population simulation
A phenomenal resource and must use for the population topic is this world population simulator.
Individual statistics for each country can be found by hovering over the country in question. Students can quickly figure out for themselves which areas of the world are adding to world population growth at the fastest and slowest rates. Students can see how rapidly world population increases over the course of a class. The developers have also produced a real time map of births and deaths for the United States and a google chrome extension for easy launch within the classroom. I found this resource in an article at theatlantic.com.

Three's a crowd? Not on the high street. A look at clustering in UK towns and cities.
Settlement geography is a popular topic at GCSE and it invariably requires an understanding of land use. Furthermore, this part of the topic is often the focus of field work investigations. One interesting feature of many high streets in UK towns and cities is clustering whereby shops or services of similar function are found side-by-side or in close proximity to one another. You may be able to illustrate this phenomenon easily in your local area (and if you can take a group out to see it firsthand then even better) but if you are in the classroom Google Street View is a useful tool.

California drought visualized
California is currently experiencing the worst drought in its history.
This is covered by Tutorschoolfrench with images from Le Monde in France of the drought that has gripped California for the past three years.This is a nice crossover for Geography and French students. They can learn some key French phrases as well as understand the drought.
Slider images showing the impact of the drought are also available on Buzzfeed
Volcano blows its top

Designing the ideal geographer!
This is an ideal starter activity for an introductory Geography lesson for Year 10 as they embark on their GCSEs, or even for Year 12 at the very beginning of the AS course. Like so many of the best ideas, it is incredibly simple. Give each student a plain piece of paper and ask them to design the "Ideal Geographer". They should draw an annotated sketch of what they imagine would make the most effective student of the subject: imagination is key and they can/should push the boundaries of reality! By doing this and encouraging feed back you can facilitate an important discussion and students can begin to develop ideas about what it means to "think like a geographer".
For example, their geographer may have the following "adaptations" or devices:
- a range of lenses from wide angle to macro so that issues can be viewed from a variety of scales
- an in-built sound recorder for recording sound-scapes and people's opinions
- a device that turns from a propeller to a drill so they can get above and below ground
- a finger tip made of pH paper to test soils, water etc.
- a language chip in the brain so they can communicate with people from all over the world
- a time-travel device to assess how things have changed in the past and how they may change in the future
You get the idea... I am sure your students will come up with some weird and wonderful features. So long as they can justify their ideas and the reasons are firmly rooted in Geography, anything goes!
Geography thunks get you thinking
I'm trying to get my students to think more deeply about topics, and develop their explanation skills this year. I've been inspired by Ian Gilbert's "The Little Book of Thunks" to come up with some questions that would make good starters or plenaries, and or form a thought provoking classroom display.
1. If geography didn't exist where would we be?

Climb every mountain
To celebrate geographer Daniel Raven-Ellison climbing the equivalent height of Everest using steps in London's tallest buildings Ordnance Survey has created the step mountain calculator. This tool allows you to type in the number of steps you have climbed and it will calculate the equivalent height in famous buildings and mountains. Using this tool you could create an excellent Geography and P.E cross curricular challenge as pupils could compete as individuals or teams to assail a particular mountain or building over a period of time of your choosing. The calculator website also gives the scale they have used to calculate the number of steps that is equivalent to a particular height and this could be used for pupils to complete some map and numeracy work of their own. Pupils could use your local OS map to find the spot height of a local hill or mountain and then calculate how many steps would be required to climb it.
80 maps that explain the world
Maps are a powerful tool for teaching about the world. The Washington Post has published eighty maps (in two posts) that might change our perspective and understanding of the world. Some carefully selected maps from this selection would make an interesting first geography lesson of the year. The maps could stimulate some interesting conversations on what is geography. Pupils could also rank the maps according to various categories, such as most interesting, most surprising, most useful etc. You could also give pupils some of the maps without titles and or keys to see if they can work out what the map shows. This lesson could also lead nicely onto a homework task where pupils find interesting maps of the UK or their local area.
A selection of the maps would also make a high impact and thought provoking display to fill some bare classroom walls at the start of the year and in preparation for the open evening season.
Volcano heat melts roads
The picture below is of one of the roads in Yellowstone National Park melting as a result of a volcanic hotspot. It would make a great starter for a lesson on predicting volcanic activity or super volcanoes. Not only could you ask pupils about what they think is happening in the picture but also get them to imagine they are in charge of the park and what they would do as a result of this event, evacuate or simply repair the road? Why? It could lead into a good discussion on predicting tectonic hazards too.
Geography of events on Twitter #TDF #BRAv#GER
- Teachers can follow @TwitterData on Twitter to see events that are being tweeted about and the locations from which these events are being sent.
This can be brought into a fun classroom activity. Teachers can give the date of an event and the location of most tweets and students have to guess the event.
- For example on The 6th of July what event had Sheffield/York lighting up in terms of Tweets?
What is Geography and why does it matter anyway? Summer reading for Year 12s
Teachers use this post exam period for their Year 12 sets in various ways; many decide to begin the A2 course with a view to picking up where they left off once term begins again in September. Some will set written work to do over the summer break but whatever you decide to do, encouraging your students to read around the subject is a good idea. The book Why Geography Matters More Than Ever by Harm de Blij (2012, OUP USA) is an excellent book to recommend to anyone studying Geography in the Sixth Form; it is certainly one for your school library.

Now, before and after
One important higher level skill in Geography is for pupils to apply their understanding of processes to describe and explain how places change over time. To encourage pupils to apply their understanding try this task. Firstly show pupils a picture of a scene today (like the one shown below) and ask them to describe it.
Then ask pupils to hypothesise what this place might have looked like five years ago and to explain why they think this.
Finally pose ask pupils to predict how this place might be different in one hundred years time. What is possible and what is probable?
This is a really versatile technique that can be applied to a range of topics, using different time scales to suit. It also provides a great way of extending the more able pupils that you teach by adding even more factors for them to consider. For example how might this place be different in one hundred years time if global warming continues?
Create a fake SMS conversation
Using the new tool from classtools.net you can create fake SMS conversations like the one below. Teachers could create them as starter or plenary activities, asking pupils to add more comments to the conversation. Alternatively, as it is extremely easy to use and conversations can be saved, pupils could create their own. It is a great way of engaging pupils and could be used for a variety of topics.
Drawing the structure of the earth - numeracy and geography
If you are trying to incorporate more numeracy and problem solving into Geography lessons then this task could be the answer. Knowing the structure of the earth is vital for pupils to understand the theory of plate tectonics but instead of getting them to copy a diagram from a textbook how about getting them to construct their own scale diagram using the instructions shown below. This activity encourages pair work as well as refreshing pupils minds about how scale works.
Behind the scenes of the World Cup
The World Cup has brought Brazil to everyone's attention and is a great excuse to teach about this diverse country. The BBC has produced some great resources about Brazil's favelas with maps, photos and case studies about some of the residents http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-27635554
Explorable income Inequality
Some countries are much more unequal than others with regards to income levels between the rich and poor.
100 years of income inequality from 29 countries has been mapped and is available in the following interactive tool created by Carnegie Mellon University.
This is a useful resource for Geography and Economics teachers and students to explore income inequalities within countries. The tool includes what proportion of all income that flows to the top 1% and 10%. The top 1% and 10% incomes can also be compared to the bottom 90%. For example in graph 1 below we can see the income of the top 1% in the UK is equivalent to the income of greater than 19 people from the remaining 90%.
Graph 1
We can also compare income between countries. For example I compared the United States, France and the United Kingdom. We can see from graph 2 that the United States is most unequally distributed, as the top 10% hold a disproportionately high share of incomes at almost 50%. Incomes of the wealthiest 10% in the UK and USA are rising over time compared to the rest of the population. in 2011 the top 10% shared 39% of the income in the UK. While France's top earners have a much lower share of income and hence there is much less income inequality.
Graph 2
London Mapped: from hedgehogs to homelessness
London is a city of great inequalities and that is why a team at Oxford University has developed the website LondonMapper.org.uk. It is an amazing and growing website including a range of maps showing each borough as a different size depending on its differing values for a range of data sets. Some of the maps that you can look at include, obesity, carbon emissions, homelessness, house prices, crime and hedgehog sightings. These maps are a wonderful visual resource which is continuing to grow.
Worldwide online quizzes
The Geographical Association has some great online quizzes for your students. They can test their knowledge on cities, oceans, map skills, countries to name a few topics. Once they have completed a quiz there are downloadable certificates featuring their scores to be printed out.
Young Geographer of the Year Competition
The Royal Geographical Society had launched their Young Geographer of the Year Competition. Aimed at 9-18 year olds this year's question is 'How can geography help you?'. This would be great to run as an in school competition with the winners being entered for the national competition. It would be a good way to get pupils to see the value of Geography. For more details see http://www.rgs.org/OurWork/Schools/Competitions.
Responding to Emergencies
CAFOD have produced some useful new resources on how they respond to emergencies http://www.cafod.org.uk/Education/Secondary-schools/Emergencies. There is an introductory film as well as up to date information on the latest emergencies around the world. I particularly like the board game they have created on how to protect a community threatened by a flood. In addition there are resources on Typhoon Haiyan, the Syrian Crisis and rebuilding after the Haiti Earthquake.
Human Geography GCSE Dominoes
The dominoes activity is often used for revising geographical terminology but when using the game for GCSE revision it can also be used to test case study detail.
Here are some for human geography topics:
Population change: POPULATION_DOMINOS.doc
Changing urban environments: URBAN_DOMINOS.doc
Tourism: TOURISM_DOMINOS.doc
Feel free to adapt and use!
You can subtly differentiate as you distribute the cards and, if you've got a small set, some students can be given two. I often time them to see how long it takes from start to finish then get them to swap cards around and repeat to see if they can get a quicker time. It's always a popular activity and can be a real confidence booster. Quality of communication is key: both speaking clearly and listening carefully.
Developing links in exam answers
With the GCSE exams rapidly approaching I have been focussing on exam technique with my year 11's. One thing that they seem to struggle with is understanding how to achieve well on the higher mark, longer answer, questions. So we have been talking about developing links and expanding answers. Here is a worksheet I produced to encourage them to create detailed explanations. This technique could easily be applied to any topic.
Powerful visual of Typhoon Haiyan
Very powerful video put together by The Telegraph showing the immediate impact of November 2013's Typhoon side by side with images 6 months on. The video highlights the enduring human spirit and how people struggle to rebuild following such a devastating natural disaster.

Where have you been a tourist?
The Guardian's website has a really nice tool that allows you to create a personalised map of where you have been a tourist.

Fracking - 5 minute debate
I am teaching a lesson on fracking this week and in planning for it I discovered the Guardian's five minute debate videos. The website has an excellent five minute video debate on the pro's and con's of fracking which I think will make a great plenary combined with a vote at the end of the lesson.
Other geography related topics on the website include nuclear power, migration in developing countries and the impact of cycling on traffic in the UK. These could be used as starters or plenaries, or as inspiration for pupils to create their own five minute debates.read more...»
The Pressure Builds on Chinese Agricultural Sector
In today's China, over half of the 1.3bn population already live in cities, with millions more expected to join them soon as the Chinese government pursues its policy of mass urbanisation.
A consequence of urbanisation is that China's traditional agrarian sector is not able to feed the domestic population. With less land, increasingly scarce or polluted water and fewer rural workers, the issue of food scarcity is an important threat to China's economic transformation.
One response for China is to increase the amount of imported food. Another is to invest in bigger "commercial" farms. But, as this FT video explains, in the short-term, the pressure remains on traditional farming methods.read more...»
Tourism maps

Geography of Ukraine
The NY times has put together an excellent map resource to help us understand the Geography of Ukraine and the current crisis in the region.
The maps show the areas of Ukraine which are in favor of the incursion by Russia. They also show the percentage of native Ukrainian speakers as apposed to Russian speakers. While the economic importance of Ukraine is also visualized through the map of the gas pipelines passing from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.
Similarly the BBC has produced an excellent analysis of the Geography of the region.
Nice idea to get students to develop their own maps of the region using the National Geographic's MapMaker Interactive.

Sinkholes have been causing havoc recently - but what exactly are they?
There have been many stories about sinkholes opening up recently in the UK and elsewhere, swallowing cars and creating scenes worthy of a sci-fi blockbuster. However, geographers know that these features can be formed through natural processes (such as those occurring in karst landscapes) but their dramatic appearance can also be triggered by human activity. The photograph below is from 2010 and shows a 200ft sink hole that appeared in Guatemala City, killing at least one man when it caused a three-storey building to collapse. Thankfully, those that have appeared in recent months closer to home have not resulted in any deaths but these eerie features have been appearing more frequently of late. The reasons behind this are concerned with both human and physical Geography.
The video below shows footage from both the UK and around the world and gives an overview of the causes of ground collapse.read more...»

Winchester and its ground breaking flood protection
Winchester has frequently suffered the impacts of flooding in the past. The historic city on the banks of the River Itchen has therefore been preparing for the worst after the recent prolonged heavy rainfall. Firstly, with help from the Environment Agency, fire fighters and the Navy, a 70ft flood protection barrier has been set up to protect an important area of the city centre which includes a primary school and the city's art college. They have also brought in high volume water pumps to move the flood waters away from vulnerable buildings.
In addition though an innovative idea is being trialled to divert water away from the river Itchen itself. Sixty one tonne bags of gravel are being dumped in the river Itchen to slow the flow of the river and divert it into a large holding pond which has been created across an area of water meadows to the north of the city. This should reduce the water levels in the city centre. Depending on the success of the project it could be something that could be used in other places to prevent flood damage in the future.
There is a really useful item on this on tonight's One Show on BBC One (17/02/2014), which will hopefully been on iplayer too shortly.
Snappy ICT starters and plenaries
Try www.triptico.co.uk for a simple, free, desktop application that allows you to create interactive resources for your classroom. It includes an order sorter; timers and countdowns; group and question selectors; and a useful voting system that turns pupil responses into a pie chart.
Mind map app
Below is a mind map created with the iOS app SimpleMind+
This is a free app which allows the user very easily to create a mind map which can be colour coded and manipulated as it is constructed. It has obvious potential for revision but also as a starter to a new topic to assess prior knowledge. The fact that the boxes can be moved around means it is fluid and flexible so students can change their minds or adapt their ideas as they go along.
This would be really effective if students could use a tablet each or in pairs as when projected onto a whiteboard the text is very small. However, students can construct as a class and receive a print out of the finished article - either via Simplemind if you purchase the full version or by taking a screen shot of the iPad.
This free resource is certainly worth exploring.

- Conference date: 19–22 June 2012
- Location: Erlangen, Germany
The first phase of the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) has been deployed at the end of 2010. Currently, the array consists of 24 stations distributed over an area of 0.5 km2. AERA has three different objectives. The first one is to measure cosmic-ray events and to provide the necessary data to improve our understanding of radio emission from air showers. The second objective is to develop and test the instrumentation for the next generation of MHz radio-detection setups for airshower studies based on self-triggering methods. The third one is to explore cosmic-ray physics in the transition region with an energy range between 0.1 and 10 EeV. With this first phase of AERA, self-triggered events were recorded and used for physics analysis. Moreover, various types of hardware and different trigger strategies for the next stages including cross-triggering with the surface detector are being tested with the current setup. The paper will firstly report the current status of the detector. Then, it will focus on the available events and summarize the ongoing analyses. Finally, we will discuss the plan for the next phase in 2012-2013.

Media360: Be a jockey on Twitter, says David Schneider
Brands should keep tweets short, funny and human, according to the comedian and actor David Schneider, who has co-founded a company that specialises in social media platform Twitter.
David Schneider: co-founded a company that specialises in social media
Schneider, along with co-founder and "professional tweeter" David Levin, were speaking at the Media360 Conference about their experiences setting up the company, That Lot.
Levin and Schneider, who have tweeted for brands such as PG Tips and BBC's 'The Voice', said there were several ways to engage audiences with a brand on Twitter.
If brands were to be successful on Twitter, they should keep tweets short funny and human, or in Schneider's words, "Be a short human. Be a jockey."
However, they said companies should respond instantly to events, and brands should consider reducing the number of people who have to sign off on a tweet before it is sent out.
Levin said: "If you can be quick, the benefits are huge. The lighter you are on your feet as a brand, the better."
Brands can also use "reactive listening", where they search for keywords relating to their product used on Twitter that day and then engage with that account to encourage a follow.
Schneider gave the example of tweeting for PG Tips and searching for people who used the word "tea" in their tweets.
Another way for brands to engage and keep their audience is to include regular events and features, such as quizzes, in their messages.
Levin and Schneider predicted that live tweeting, in which celebrities tweet from a brand's account, would become more common, and brands would increasingly use vines to inject "highly shareable" humour into their messages.

6 lbs. of Original Spicy Meat Sticks Ends and Pieces is rated out of 5 by 538.Rated 5 out of 5 by chickens96 from meat sticks ends and pieces these are great to snack on. A little greasy, but it's worth it for the price. Who cares it they're end and pieces? They're great.Would recommend.Date published: 2014-11-09Rated 4 out of 5 by Susan S from Price is right! Did some of the others even read the description "Meat Stick Ends and Pieces" that is what you ordered. Yes "some" of the pieces are flat and some are full. I order these at least twice a year and I get 2-6 lb. orders at a time. They have a good flavor and they don't last very long around our house. Good price for a good product.Date published: 2014-10-22Rated 5 out of 5 by HARRY from This makes a great snack . Our fishing gang hit the Cape Hatteras beaches for two weeks every year. Nothing like meat sticks and tasty beverages. The fishing experience is as good as it gets!!Date published: 2014-06-21Rated 3 out of 5 by KEN from GOOD VALUE, BUT A BIT OLD. AND THEY TEND TO OPEN DURING SHIPPING. THEY DO TASTE GREAT THOUGH.Date published: 2014-06-21Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMES from Go to any store (including Wallie World) and see if you could buy anything even close to this product and see how much you'll pay!! I couldn't make these at home cheaper than I bought them for here. The price is unbelievable!!Date published: 2014-06-04Rated 1 out of 5 by KEVIN from These "beef sticks" are not very good at all. They are very fatty, and have a casing that gets stuck in your teeth. If you eat more than one little piece at a time, the casings build up in your mouth like chewing gum. There is a lot of filler product in these meat snacks, and it is really noticeable. I thought they might improve when refrigerated, but sadly this is not the case. I don't know what I'll ever do with 6 lbs, because no one in my household will eat them.Date published: 2014-06-03Rated 1 out of 5 by JOE from Save your Money These are horribleDate published: 2014-06-03Rated 4 out of 5 by DALE from I purchased a beef stick ends. Probably the worst product that I've ever purchased/tasted in my life. They are in edible. My plans are to throw them out. My suggestion to you would be to discontinue carrying them and find a different product to replace them. Thank you PS this is no reflection on my shopping experience. All was well with that.Date published: 2014-06-03

We all agree the 2014 Red Sox are done, right?
This isn't going to happen. There won't be a torrid summer stretch, the offense isn't going to find the '13 form. At this current pace, the Red Sox would need 275 games to match last year's total of 853 runs. Clay Buchholz isn't going to figure out whatever it is that is missing. And Stephen Drew has turned out to be the first total, no-arguments allowed whiff of the Ben Cherington era.
The Red Sox, at 30-36, have the second-worst record in the American League, with 10 teams in front in the wild card race. Their team OPS is .694 (12th in AL), 101 points behind their '13 total (first in the majors by 15 points). There are a million holes in this lineup and zero solutions. Anyone think things are really going to get significantly better?
Nope, this is a lost season, much closer to '12 than '13, which is starting to smell an awful lot like one of the great fluke seasons in baseball history. The Red Sox are going to be six, seven, eight games or so out of the second wild card spot when the trade deadline rolls around -- the Bobby Valentine team was 3 1/2 games out on July 31, 2012 -- just close enough to delude but not close enough to be realistic contenders.
In a perfect world, free of NESN and concerns about half-filled Fenway in September, this is a team that should be sellers. The Red Sox will have plenty of moveable parts -- think Jonny Gomes, A.J. Pierzynski, Drew, Jake Peavy and Koji Uehara, all in the last year of contracts -- and all could potentially help a playoff contender.
But the biggest trade chip, by far, would be Jon Lester. And the Red Sox would be absolute fools not to deal Lester before the deadline. Keeping him around for the final two months of a wasted year would accomplish nothing.
Lester is gone after this season. You know that, I know that, Lester knows that and John Henry sure as hell knows that. The four-year, $70 million offer Lester reportedly received is probably two years and $70 million short of what he'll eventually get from some team dopey enough to throw $150 million at a pitcher in his 30s. Long-term contracts for huge money to guys in their 30s don't work. There is no track record, zero, of success, but that won't stop some team from overpaying Lester, who has been a very good pitcher but has finished in the top 10 in AL WHIP once in his career.
He's now 30 years old and I think we can finally all get together and agree that the 22-6, 2.60 ERA from Lester is never going to happen. He's 16-8, 3.60 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. No shame in that. It's already made him $43 million and is about to make him $150 million or so more. But raise your hand if you think the Lester of the last six years was worth $25 million a year. I don't think so, either, and those were his prime years. Why, exactly, is he going to suddenly be worth that dough at age 35, 36 or even 37? Henry has made it clear that the days of the huge, long-term deals to players in their 30s are done. That's the right philosophy, of course, having the discipline to stick to the philosophy is tricky. But the lowball offer to Lester is proof that the Red Sox are willing to move on, which should also mean they are willing to deal him for the right offer. And it's hard to believe Lester wouldn't be THE prize multiple teams would be chasing at the end of July.
Now, if the Red Sox don't trade Lester they'd get a compensation pick if he signs somewhere else (a pick the team that trades for Lester wouldn't receive if he left). So the question is this: Is a pick somewhere in the 30s of the '15 draft worth more than the Red Sox could land if they trade Lester? That's hard to imagine -- even with the prospect of just a three-month rental, a bidding war would have to mean a couple of serious prospects. Think a power-hitting outfielder might be a help over the next couple of years (remember the Wil Myers for Lester rumors from November 2012)? Plus this: Lester is a perfect, central-casting deadline acquisition for a team that's this close. He's as durable as they come, he's pitching for a contract and he's one of the two or three best playoff pitchers of his generation. He could easily be the difference between winning or not winning a World Series for one of these teams in October.
Trading Jon Lester is the best way to salvage a lost season. When the time comes, it's the move the Red Sox have to make.
