Re: Will Beckett be in Boston past 2010?
If he accepts a home town discount of sorts and is willing to sign an extension, which I believe the Sox are talking to him about right now, I would love to have him back. But is Josh Beckett worth 20 mill a year? For a guy who when healthy is a top 5 pitcher in the AL? Yes. But that is not always the case, Beckett always seems to be hurt at the worst times and over the last two years we haven't really been able to rely on our ace in the playoffs. IF we trade for a Halladay or a Felix Hernandez and have them locked up for years to go along with the others guys in the rotation, I could see Beckett leaving. He could go out and find top dollar else where.
