What are your thoughts on Lackey and Buch?

I thought Boston over paid for him. He's seemed to have struggled but it could just be my prespective (even before boston). He'd occasionally have a good night but most the times it was struggles. Then when you factor in his stats in Fenway I was amazed they signed him.

Do you think he can settle into Boston and pitch like Lester?

Buch really surprised me this last season. I'm not 100% sure what to expect out of him this season how ever. He didn't appear to be a K-force pitcher (which can be a good thing). Do you think Boston should try and trade him now while he's got decent numbers for a season and is worth something? Do you think he will improve this next season? Stay the same? or decline?
