2012 Fantasy Outlook: Josh Beckett

For me, Beckett is indeed very hard to evaluate. BaseballHQ has him as a $19 SP, Rotowire has his value at $17. What value to you place on Beckett this year?

Coming off an injury riddled and largely disappointing 2010 campaign, Josh Beckett responded with a great 2011 season. He provided an immense amount of value for owners, posting near top-10 numbers among starting pitchers despite going as late as the 17th or 18th round of drafts. Looking ahead to the 2012 season, Beckett is a tough player to project for fantasy purposes

Where are you finding these valuations specifically – it would be very useful to link directly to them if they are free content. If not, nevermind – disregard :)

has Beckett as a $17 pitcher for 2012, which sounds about right for AL-only leagues. Not sure he would go that high in mixed leagues.
