Josh Beckett

[Juhlz]

Do you think he will have any lingering effects from his elbow sprain?
Do you think he is worth a roster spot ahead of these pitchers:

Padilla
Peavy
Lawrence

[WinLoseOrBrawl]

When he gets back I would start him over all three of those guys.

I might take Padilla over Beckett, but probably not. Beckett's upside is huge. I have him in a lot of leagues, so I'm hoping he's this year's AJ Burnett, lots of strikeouts, a few shutouts, and a low ERA.

[sinicalypse]

yeah, they're all so-so. i wouldn't be surprised if the whole lot of 'em ended up with 4+ era when the season ends.

if padilla gets on a roll, i'd give him a loo, although he is entirely capable of getting roughed up for 5+ runs, which he has been hovering around for his last three starts.
