I could go for it if Lowell wasnt involved. The last thing they needed was an overpriced aging 3rd baseman with a huge contract to get stuck with. Beckett is a good pick up but getting stuck with lowell blows.

It will stink to see Billy Meuller leave but on the bright side Fenway might be able to bring Lowell back to his old self.

I overheard on WEEI that Beckett has averaged 8 wins a year for the last 3 or 4 years. Plus he's had 9 appearences on the IR. Seems like the Sox got screwed. That's alot of talent to give up for a has been and an 8 game winner.
You just have to ask yourself one question. Would Theo make the same deal? First the Bruins blow then the "new" Sox brass blow my offseason. Time for me to find the closest yardarm........

Beckett had 15 wins last season. He's young, and his ERA the last 3 years has been around 3.5.
I think ERA is more important than wins....If your club isn't hitting for you it doesn't matter how well you pitch. Just ask Clemens...his team's lack of offense cost him another Cy Young
I think its a good thing getting him...we need some young arms and pitching is at a premium in the major leagues. If he stays healthy he'll make a solid #3 Starter if not #2
