Doug Padilla: Lackey plays it cool
One member of the Angels was not going to let John Lackey get away with being nonchalant about his new $17.01 million contract. When Lackey told reporters it was "nice" that the Angels were showing their confidence in the right-hander, Chone Figgins happened by the interview session. "Nice?" Figgins remarked, shaking his head as he walked away. Figgins wasn't alone in thinking that over $5 million per season was a little more than nice. Lackey could only laugh at the realization of his understatement. Figgins' three-year deal, signed during the offseason, was worth $10.5 million.

Why do you throw the Chicago media under the bus? I heard they were all good guys and hard workers.
