Lackey is still in his honeymoon period. A few more starts like today and the knives will come out.

He's benefited from some great offensive support, but is there some point where we really start to worry about him? Sure, he's been better than Beckett (7.29 ERA, 1.66 WHIP), but that's not saying much. Just for comparison, the despised Matsuzaka is at 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 35-54 BB/K in 65 innings.
