A Year In The Life Of Josh Beckett
Last October, Dan Le Batard shared the following story about Josh Beckett:
Quote:
This past June, the Sun Sentinel News ran a story that included the following: Quote:
And, now, in a Palm Beach Post story we have more news on Beckett: Quote:
Now, I know that Beckett is just a 24 year old kid - and kids do stupid things out of a lack of maturity. Still, someone close to Beckett has to tell him that pitchers who have yet to win 10 games in a big league season should be seen and not heard. Yes, he was a post-season hero in 2003 and carried the Marlins to a ring. But, he's just 26-26 in the big leagues since arriving in 2001 and that's not all that and a box of Cracker Jacks. He needs a wake up call, and quick. Marlins, are you listening?

Yep, he may be all those things, but his ring still fits.

Sounds alot like a kid that used to pitch in Cleveland.....Jaret Wright. I'm not sure about the attitude, but the career stats until this year were about the same. Mediocre regular seasons and one great post-season. I was happy to see him do well in ATL this year, though.

Everytime I see something about Beckett's attitude, the first guy that I think of is Jaret Wright. Perfect match.
