I kind of like the Red Sox grabbing major league players on down years. Craig might have been worth a look on our end, but Colon isn't pitching as well as Lackey (nor does he have a contact that pays him 500k in his last year -- I can see why that would be enticing for St. Louis). The Red Sox get Joe Kelly also.... Part of me believes in time Kelly is better than Lackey anyway...
