Lackey has been a bust so far. He has pitched through a quater of his starts and his era is over 5, I guess that is what 18 million per year will get you. As I said in the last winter, be weary of Jon Lackey. Since 07, his number of starts and innings have gone down, his ERA has risen, and he had injury problems. The guy def. isn't what he was in 07, and the Sox def. gave him way to much money. I'd rather given the money to Bay and kept him around.
