John Lackey - one and done

[Moonlight J]

appears to have blown out his arm

[Bostonianboy]

It looked pretty bad. He was grabbing at his arm the pitch before. Sad because he looked good before this happened.

So who replaces lackey? Do they go young and bring Allen Webster up... Make aceves a starter? Or the knuckler, wright they have in AAA? Thoughts?

[JudeBaldo]

Yesh. The look on his face made me grimace.

[Moonlight J]

now they're saying it just cramped up on him and went away? I'll believe it when I see it

[KnuckleBalls]

Allen Webster will be up at some point as his spring really opened some eyes. If I'm betting, my money is on him.

Was supposed to have an MRI this morning. I haven't heard anything yet. anyone?

Nothing yet on Lackey but what was released was that he 'remained upbeat'. I hope he's all right. He has a good shot of redemption in Boston I think because he is a better pitcher than we have seen and he looked OK in the start we saw against TOR but I don't know if he just torqued the muscle or what but I thought he was f'cked when I saw it happen.

Like when Frank Viola's arm gave out.

Larry Lucchino said this AM about three weeks on Lackey.
