During his introductory press conference on Tuesday, new GM Ben Cherington announced that John Lackey would miss the entire 2012 season, as he will shortly have Tommy John surgery.
I had only reaction to that news: a sense of relief.
No matter how badly Lackey's pitched, I hope his surgery goes well and he comes back a better pitcher. The Sox are stuck with him for 2013 at least. Some guys have come back better after TJ surgery. We'll see.

I found it wonderfully ironic. Lackey pitches likes a batting practice pitcher and now blows out his elbow necessitating TJ surgery.
Though I suppose that Tommy John may be insulted that his name is in the same sentence as John Lackey.
