O.J. LewisNew Ace Needed In Boston?

Beckett is 1-1 in his last 6 games, in those games his numbers are absolutely terrible! And coming from a Sox fan its hurts to admit the horrible truth. In that span he’s pitching a 6.10 ERA and has given up 26 earned runs!,( that’s 3 less than what Smoltz and Penny gave up combined before leaving beantown). I mean in a plus he has struck out 40 batters but he’s given up 14 home runs as well which makes me think. Does he still have command of that devastating fastball that made him so dangerous? Or does he have that fast ball at all?
Now before I continue I’m not saying I want Beckett out of Boston. I just don’t know if he’s capable of holding down that number 1 spot. I’m just wondering if its time to get someone who can give us that comfort or next in line feeling.
It wouldn’t be such a bad idea for the sox to really pursue and make a attempt of getting Right Hand er Felix Hernandez away from the Seattle Mariners. Lets be honest I don’t know if the Mariners have the money to give him the contract that he’s gonna want. But I don’t think the team should pass on potentially getting a number 1 or 2 starter.
The Yankees aren’t getting any easier to beat last time I checked and having a potential rotation:
1. Josh Beckett
2. Felix Hernandez
3. Jon Lester
4. Daisuke Matsuzaka
5. Clay Buchholz
Makes me feel like a little better about the future.
