A lot has been made of Josh Beckett struggles so far this year (along with most of the team), and in no way am I defending them, but here is an interesting stat from our friends at Boston.com...
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
Creepy right? I mean almost exact. The good news is that Beckett was in the running for a Cy Young before the last couple weeks of the season. The bad would obviously be how it ended, but the hope here is that he will turn it around here, and that he is just anther guy who has early season struggles.
