| Francona thinks extension may have affected Beckett early | 07.23.10 at 10:54 am ET |
Red Sox manager Terry Francona told reporters prior to Thursday’s game in Seattle that he believes that Josh Beckett‘s four-year, $68-million contract extension had some effect on the starting pitcher.
“I think he tried to live up to his contract, not in a bad way,” Francona said. “He’s a conscientious kid. For whatever reason, regardless of who you are, when the bell rings, you’ve got to kind of get it going, sometimes it takes guys a little longer. Then, his season got interrupted.”
Beckett struggled with a 7.29 over eight starts before going down with a back injury in May. He takes the hill for the first time since that injury Friday night.
