Clearly Josh beckett fells as if FO treats him like a baby. as they do with pedro in Boston.

 

todays comments in the MH really said alot about how Beckett feels. and im takeing he doesnt like they way he is being treated..

 

Josh Beckett wasn't pleased upon learning Willis would take his next scheduled start Sunday. Beckett is battling yet another blister on his right middle finger -- the same problem that landed him on the disabled list three times last season. Beckett said the blister wasn't painful and he could pitch with it: ``I'm the only guy in the league who is perfectly fine and they won't let pitch

 

Will somebody plz tell this kid we are only looking out for is future. he is suppose to be the orginal phenom. he is very young, and we dnt wanna have a problem like we did with AJ.. i mean i wnt lie he has had some the worse luck i have eva seen, its kinda like my luck every year in April which is my worse month something always bad happnes to me.

 

i think the long rest will be good 4 Josh maybe he can spend some more time thinking about that lazy pitch he threw Matt clement

I don't think that the Blister or Beckett's health had anything to do with it. I think Jack saw he could get Dtrain an extra start with the right amount of rest. And why not Willis has been unreal while Beckett's last outing was...well...ya know lousey.

Willis is modest, Beckett is a spoiled brat. Why you may ask? Because Willis has had to work his way up, Beckett made his way up on buzz.

oh hell ya big, i understand what ya sayin. and i agree you want to make sure you end the 1st half with a bang. and why not, there is DEF an Xcuse just to tell Beckett something. i see it in ya perspective man

this a little off the topic, but do you think that Beckett will ever actually live up to the hype? I mean gosh how many blisters can you have before you give up?

Well it's just too bad for Josh if his feathers are ruffled. He ought to look down the bench at Dontrelle and learn something.

 

He is a kid. He's great kid but Josh has to grow up and accept that his body isn't ready to pitch major league baseball. If the Marlins could pick up Jason Johnson from Baltimore, or another SP, they might try Josh in the bullpen until matures.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not down on him at all. he has been a tough luck guy, and he was unmercifully rushed along. Given time under McKeon and Rosie he stands a chance of becoming a great starting pitcher, but he needs time emotionally, and he needs time for his body to be able to withstand the rigors of MLB.

 

He'll thank the Marlins five years from now.

well he will live up to the hype some day... we have seen many signs of brilliance... as Marlins2003 said give him time he doesnt have the body to pitch in the majors..... i dunno dawg, i just cant give him 5 year to mature up.. all thou i do like ya idea on Jason Johnson. but Facts are thats not gonna happnen. O's are rebuliding and thats there ace. to them JJ is what AJ is to us. ya feel me?..... so thats just not gonna happen man.

 

as a Fish Fan you just want to see Beckett mature up now and just let him pitch. he is has much time to prove him self, but everytime you think he gets started on teh right track something bad always happens. 2nd half looks for him and i hope he doesnt get lazy again. you always learn from your mistakes.

 

cant put Beckett in the Pen he is just to Valueable

lol, Josh Beckett is a spoiled brat? How would anyone know? Haha! This cracks me up. Dontrelle said himself...we don't know what goes on behind close doors...you know what happens when u assume right?

P.S. Beckett has had much time to prove himself? Ok, 1 season + a few months and he should prove himself? Geez. Give the kid a break!

Dontrelle has proven himself in less than 3 months, Josh was supposed to be some automatic Ace. That's what Henry's regime billed him as.

no, that's what us fans billed him as. We thought he would jump right in there, and be bla bla bla bla bla...for some people, it takes awhile.

 

And exactly how is he a spoiled brat?

some of you are idiots

Xactly.. Cape has hit teh ball of the TEE right on the point!!!!!

 

i dunno why ya sticking up 4 Beckett he has potrayed an Image of looking like a spoiled Brat.

 

and as Cape also said Beckett came as BUZZ

 

and as 4 proving him self

 

he played in 2001, and 2002 and this is his 3rd year Tighten up and be the Orginal Phenom that ya suppose to be!!!

 

he gets no breaks from me..... f*** that do ya job and be what ya potenial said said you would be...

LOL! "Do what your potential says you'll be"....do you realize how idiotic that is? He isnt the one making claims that he will be a Cy Young winner (and who says he wont?! He's been in the league for a f*cking season and a half for heaven's sake!).

 

And please, odom, explain to me how he has portrayed himself as a spoiled brat. Is it because he said he wanted to pitch, and he didnt want his spot in the rotation skipped? That's called being competitive. Competitors like to win. You can't win sitting on the bench.

2001 doesnt even count. He came up in the September callups. Last season he was in and out of the DL with blisters. This year he has had arm problems. I'm stretching it, saying he has pitched for a season and a half.

Want to know why we treat Beckett like Pedro when he's injured?

 

Because in 4 years he could be just as good. It all depends on if they keep him healthy early in his career...

He isnt the one making claims that he will be a Cy Young winner

 

Maybe not Cy Young, but I do recall when he was drafted, he predicted himself to be an All-Star by 2002 (or maybe even 2001...my memory is hazy, but it was one of those years).

 

Still, I'm not too concerned about his sometimes stubborn behavior. I think it stems from his competitiveness and his desire to just go out there and prove all the hype was warranted. This is contrary to Penny, who IMHO is just lazy and would rather blame everyone else for his mistakes before blaming himself.

some of you are idiots

I agree...........

 

 

How can you send Beckett to bullpen....

Beckett just has a fire in him. A wilingness to play. He HAS to play the game of baseball. I'm the same way. You will never find at least one hour pass where I'm not messing around with a ball or something. He needs to get it out of his system.

 

BTW: If healthy, I wouldn't doubt him being an All-Star next year.

Is call confidence and that not a bad thing to have.

Whoever said send Beckett to the pen should be forced to watch Tigers games over and over...

Beckett will and should stay a starter, but Jack's job is to give our team the best chance to win. Willis gives us a better chance to win at the moment than Beckett. That simple.

lmfao, then they could get to know dealin' dave VERY WELL!

When completely healthy, Beckett is an ace.

 

Burnett-Willis-Beckett-Redman-Penny

 

That's one crazy good rotation for next year...

Most Marlin fans are idiots.
