As much as Lackey brings the suck, I'd rather watch him pitch. Dice K was simply the most frustrating non-knuckleballer that I have watched pitch for the Red Sox in many years.
I dread every game that he pitches. I can't stomach the inconsistency of the knuckleball. I'd prefer a real pitcher. When Buch is back send Wake to long relief.
This is it^. This reduces his market value, which makes him a really good value for his offensive production. He will be with the Red Sox in 2012 barring injury. I am just surprised that E1 didn't see through Jacko's BS.
