Do not like the length, but really like the pitcher. Solid pitcher with a ton of postseason experience.

Hopefully this allows the Sox to ramp up trade talks for a big name first baseman. Namely Adrian Gonzalez.

 

[Smack Tripper]

They can have him at that price, he'll find the AL east a lot different from the AL west

Any predictions on Lackeys numbers next year? My guess is ERA, WHIP, QS go up. L, Ks go down. Where would you rank Lackey for next year? Maybe 15-20?

He has a workmanlike 6.11 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. He managed to hold the Rangers to 6 ER in 5 innings today.

Well worth the cash, I would say.

Was this Theos doing?

John Lackey's ERA in his 12 wins this season: 4.13

Tim Lincecum's ERA in his 12 losses this season: 4.10

Can they just eat this salary? I can't imagine there is a person in New England who wants to see him ever take the ball again for the Sox.

[HellToupee]

I onlu wish Lackey could have pitched 163 today

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Maybe the Sox can trade him to the Giants for Zito. :X

 

[Premier]

I think we need a forum for horrible Red Sox free-agent signings.

Lincecum deserves better from you.
