Josh Beckett

[Highway61]

The Red Sox should trade this bum for a bag of balls just to get rid of his salary...that is all.

1. It'd be a mistake.

He's had a history of injuries and inexplicably bad seasons for no reason whatsoever. He consistently follows them with incredibly good seasons. You take the bad to get the good.

At this point, I'd rather bounce him to the 15-day DL with a phantom arm-fatigue (like the Sox did with Matsuzaka before) since there is something off in his mechanics which might be a sign or precursor of injury anyways, get him looked at and see if that shakes something loose. Maybe he'll come back hitting 99 on the gun and buckling knees with the breaking pitches again.

2. You may be right on all cylinders

except one...his attitude stinks. You don't miss a start to go golfing....

3. and then whine that he only has 18 off days

so he should have time for himself on those days. (Not to mention it's 18 off days in season, but they also have three+ months off each year in November, December and January offseason.)

4. I'd settle for John Lackey eating him

5. good luck finding a sucker to absorb that salary...

6. Agree. He needs to exit stage left. Getting tired of him

He is bad Karma now.
