PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Cubs may see John Lackey's son around the clubhouse a little more this year, but the veteran pitcher isn't planning on seeing the sights in Washington D.C., the way former teammate David Ross did in his farewell tour last season.
"He played a lot less than the rest of us," Lackey said of Ross. "He had plenty of time on his hands."
While Ross is tuning up for "Dancing with the Stars," Lackey is prepping for his 15th big league season -- and second with the Cubs. On Monday, Lackey scattered three hits over three innings, walked one and struck out one in his first Cactus League outing.
