Byrd for Lackey?

[MarioShakes]

Hello. 5x5 league w/14 teams.

I would be giving up Byrd for Lackey. My current staff is decent, I am middle of the road w/respect to power and weak for avg. I am thinking that Lackey is a better long term pickup than Byrd and could then turn Carpenter into a bigger stud later. Short sited? Would love some feedback. Thanks in advance.

My Team:
Carpenter
Ubaldo the great
Peaved (Very peaved)
Dice K
Blanton
Burhle
Capps
Rauch

Glaus
Zimmerman
Dunn
Jose Lopez
Getz
Elvis
Upton
Werth
Byrd
Cody Ross
Shootin' Blanks
Bay
Posada
Suzuki

Reserves are Bonderman, Gaby Sanchez, Ian Desmond, Mike Gonzalez, JA Happ, and Everth Cabrera

Good deal for you. I agree that Lackey should be good, I have some questions on how good he will be but the Red Sox will be better than they are right now and he should benefit from that.
