projo.com - How does Josh Beckett improve on a year in which he nearly won the Cy Young Award, and was a perfect 4-0 in the team’s post-season push to a title?
Simple — he doesn’t.
“I’m not trying to get better,” said Beckett after tossing two perfect innings in the Sox’ 24-0 win over Boston College. “I’m just trying to stay consistent, the way I was last year.”
Beckett hasn’t set any personal or statistical goals for 2008, his third with the Red Sox.
“I’m not saying I’m trying to win 20 games or anything like that,” Beckett said. “I just want to be consistent. That’s what I did last year — just go pitch-to-pitch.” Beckett overpowered the college hitters yesterday, striking out four of the six hitters he faced, but wasn’t happy with the quality of his curveball and went down to the bullpen to throw another 17 or so after his outing.
