Honestly I wouldn't be against letting Beckett walk when his contract's up either, if the price isn't right. The Beckett trade was a good one because of 2007 even absent any other possible consideration, but I'm not prepared to be positive the guy's worth the $20M/year he'll command much past age 33 or so. He's just a little too inconsistent and just slightly too injury prone for me to be sure he'll age well, and when he hasn't had his velocity he's been pretty hittable, leading me to wonder how we'll he'd translate into a finesse pitcher as his heater loses its zip.
