This is the way I'm looking at it.

More W's for Beckett and a better offense to get him these W's and run support. Their K/9 rate is with 0.8 and Beckett's WHIP has been better over the past 2 or so months and will be better come season's end. Greinke's ERA has been coming back to earth through the course of the season while Beckett has been almost lights out since April posting about a 2.4 ERA in May, June, and July total.

And Beckett is only 29 so he's jus entering those prime career years for a SP. Not to mention he's clutch and mentally strong while Greinke has had his bout with anxiety and has had a breakdown.


Am I wrong? If so please help.

In a keeper league Greinke and it's not close. Greinke is having a better season at the age of 25 then Beckett has had in his entire career. If you're the owner of Greinke he should be able to net you quite a bit more then Beckett.

If we're going to bring Greinke's anxiety into the mix, might as well throw in Beckett's silly blister problems that plagued him his whole career.
