Lackey plays some catch: Boston starter John Lackey, out for the year recovering from Tommy John surgery, was able to softly throw with head trainer Mike Reinold on Sunday, reports ESPN.com. For Lackey, it is a positive step in his recovery, albeit an early one. “He’s on a long progressive schedule and to start the throwing process is just the beginning of what will be a seven, eight-month road back,” manager Bobby Valentine said.

The Red Sox didn't make much noise this winter after a disasterous end to their 2011 season. Our Al Melchior examines the revamped roster for owners in advance of Draft Day.
After going 14-11 with a 4.40 ERA in his first season with the Red Sox, John Lackey took a huge step back a year ago. He posted a 6.84 ERA in the first half and finished the campaign 12-12 with a career-high 6.41 ERA in 28 starts. He struck out just 108 in 160 innings pitched and his 1.62 WHIP was the highest of his career. The 33-year-old has posted double-digit wins in each of the last nine seasons but that run will come to an end in 2012. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in November and is expected to miss the entire upcoming campaign. That being the case, plan on ignoring Lackey in all but keeper leagues on Draft Day.
