Billingsley or Beckett?

Good question. Initially I wanted to say Billingsley because of his age and the fact that he pitches half his games in Dodger stadium. Then I thought beckett because he's done it for a longer time. But really, I think Billingsley because Beckett's only thrown 200 innings once or twice (sorry just got back from the bar and I'm not looking it up right now ).

Beckett

Bills all the way. He'll outperform Beckett next year and every year after that.

Beckett, but that's no slight on Bills. Beckett's proven himself more.

I would go with Bills.

Billingsley. Younger, better league, division and most importantly, a clean injury history. Beckett really scares me going forward.

Beckett was my first instinct, but that's a good point about the clean injury history vs Beckett's concerns from last year. Add in that Billingsley is still improving, and I choose Billingsley.

I'd say Billingsley is still a work in progress especially when it comes to his pitch efficiency, but that improved dramatically in '08 with better mastery of his changeup/slider. A more favorable division/league and no apparent red flags on his health give clearer reason to take Bills over Beckett.
