February 23, 201214 yr Well Beckett was the first coming of Mike Stanton and he was only in god mode during the 03 postseason. He was never even an all star with the Marlins, he truely broke out with Boston.
February 23, 201214 yr He never did seem have a great deal of success with the Yankees. Not like he did earlier in his career with us and with Toronto. He was a game under .500 with us, was said to be uncoachable and bad club house influence, had TJS, and was told to clean out his locker with about a week left in the season. When he was pitching you could tell if he was going to have a good game or not by watching his actions. If he started shaking off alot of the signs from his catcher, it was going to be a bad game. In those games he would be looking at the radar more than his coaches and catcher. He never really lived up to his true potential here because of his attitude. I think the basic "firing" of him here led to some maturity in Toronto. I look forward to playing against him. And I would hope Trader Jack is in our dugout watching when he pitches. He had a 3.73 ERA in ~854 innings pitched with us, which is pretty solid. Perhaps that was his true potential as he's never really been better elsewhere. He's an inconsistent pitcher because of his control issues and he's prone to the long ball. Good to know you were scouting his body language, though... Uhhhh... Toronto?
March 2, 201214 yr AJ was a good pitcher with Toronto and Beckett was the second coming of Dan Marino not ShonCarlo Stanton
March 2, 201214 yr tell you what, he was one of the most stuck up, unfriendly, big headed player on the marlins roster.
March 2, 201214 yr Burnett to have surgery for orbital fracture will miss 8-12 weeks, seems like old times he used to get hurt just about every spring training with the Marlins. The same type of injury happened to my son bunting in a game, but I guess it wasn't as bad, he only missed two weeks but did hit with a face cage for the next 6 months
