| Josh Beckett End the discussion right now - just give Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett the AL Cy Young Award and be done with it.
Beckett improved to 7-0 with yesterday's win over Toronto. He has a 2.51 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP and a 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Furthermore in last night's game, according to the AP, "Beckett worked seven innings, setting down 14 straight at one stretch. He allowed one run on five hits, walked one, struck out five and lowered his ERA to 2.51... Beckett is the first Red Sox pitcher to win his first seven starts of a season since Roger Moret won eight straight in 1973. Babe Ruth (1917), Dave Ferriss (1945) and Moret share the Red Sox record with wins in each of their first eight games." He's easily the best pitcher in baseball right now. |
