"The Angels are "encouraged" by the latest MRI results on John Lackey's right elbow and expect their ace to be on the mound for them by the end of April or early May, general manager Tony Reagins said Monday. Lackey received a cortisone shot in his right elbow last week in an attempt to relieve the pain in his ailing arm (ESPN)."
Maybe I am wrong, but I really think Lackey is going to miss most if not all of this season. He has already had to get a shot in his elbow, and has been feeling discomfort there all during spring training. Lackey has been able to battle back from stuff like this before, as he did last season, but my gut is telling me that he really is going to have a problem with that elbow. If that is the case you can basically take the Angels out of any serious contention of doing anything.
