One, I guess, encouraging sign is that Beckett is almost exactly repeating April 2009. Here's hoping he repeats the entire year and ends at 17 - 6 again.... Beckett has been here before Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff April 27, 2010 10:43 AM
Josh Beckett after five starts last season: 2-2, 7.22 ERA, 28.2 IP, 36 H, 24 R, 23 ER, 16 BB, 31 K, .303 OBA Josh Beckett after five starts this season: 1-0, 7.22 ERA, 28.2 IP, 37 H, 24 R, 23 ERR, 13 BB, 20 K, .316 OBA Terry Francona, John Farrell and the pitcher himself all contend that he is not injured. That his velocity is consistent and within his normal range suggests that is true. Beckett appears only to have a bad case of the stinks. The good news? He was 15-4, 3.33 over his final 27 starts last season. That clock starts ticking on Sunday in Baltimore.

I think the Sox will be fine, as soon as players begin performing at their established levels of ability.
