Josh Beckett's Splits

[Webster11]

5-0, 2.54 era, .96 whip, 38 ks, 4 hrs in 46 ip

5-3, 6.54 era, 1.37 whip, 44 ks, 16hrs in 51 ip

He just gave up 3 more home runs on the road today. Whats up?

Why I traded him after a series of good starts. When he's on, about 3/4ths of his games, he's excellent to very good, the other 1/4, he can be just okay or get rocked...

Still can't be too mad when his end line is 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 K, he just got no run support. Heck, he pitched better than Santana did against the ROYALS yesterday...just goes to show you pitching is always something of a crap shoot, even with the best.

You can't complain about run support with Beckett, his average run support is 7.01, and he has 10 wins.

I'm in an 11 team 5x5 mixed league, no WW, but we do have a 3 round mid-season draft at the Allstar Break. I just traded Beckett (a keeper at 10 bucks) for the following:

First round pick (5th overall)
Third round pick (27th overall)
Paul Byrd


I think Jered Weaver will be out there with the 1st rounder (my league typically drafts closers first at mid-season, and Putz, Julio, Otsuka, Saito and Sosa are still out there).

The third round pick may bring me a David DeJesus or Corey Hart type. In essence , I could end up with Jered Weaver, Paul Byrd and DeJesus for Beckett-all three would be keepers at 5 bucks next year.
