Handle With Care
Marlins' Josh Beckett
|
In the course of a 10-minute conversation, Marlins farm director Rick Williams says "knock on wood" three times.
The subject is righthander Josh Beckett, and given Beckett's two stints on the disabled list in 2000 and his eye-popping numbers in 2001, it's a wonder Williams can speak at all while holding his breath.
Added to the wood-knocking are statements like, "We're taking it start by start, not making plans two months down the road," and "simple yet complicated."
Clearly, Beckett has been and will always be handled with care.
