re: How good is Lacy

They say Lacy has been running full speed during the summer work out program. Whether or not he will be back to his old self is yet to be seen because turf toe is a very tricky injury. And Yeldon maybe good but he's going to start as the third string back behind Fowler. That kid is a beast and I'm surprised we haven't put him in on more third and short situations.

turf toe can be bad, and normally having surgery on it means it is really bad. the normally do surgery on turf toe for 2 reasons, a badly ruptured tendon, or bone fragments complicating healing. since he was up and running on it in the NC game to great effect, it couldnt have been the ruptured tendon, so im thinking he must have had some loose tissue or bone fragments keeping the joint from completely healing. if that is the case, he should be 100% for the season
