I hadn’t put it into perspective until I saw it laid out.

I forget where I read it, but he gave a quote during Spring Training about being surprised how strong his new workout regimen made him. What caught my attention was that he was surprised – like it was a novel idea to strengthen your body (core, etc) in preparation for a long season. Maybe I misread the quote but if in fact he simply didn’t do preventive strengthening, muscle building to avert injury – there is factually based optimism for me.

Ultimately, I have no faith Lackey even makes it to the break without breaking down or retiring so I wouldn’t be surprised if Anderson was battling Rob Z or someone for the 5th starter role.
