Fantasy Baseball: Just Cut It Off, Josh

Florida Marlins starting pitcher Josh Beckett has been to the disabled list 6 times in the last 4 years because of his blister problems. He's a fireballer with apparent Cy Young potential, but you can't really live up to that potential when you can't stay healthy enough to win 10 games in a season (he went 9-9 last year, starting 26 games).

Josh, it's time to just cut off the offending party. If you remember, during the winter league season before the 2004 season, Kansas City Royal Jeremy Affeldt had a fingernail permanently removed, because he too suffered from blister problems. The result? No more blisters.

I tell ya, if the only thing standing between me and being a dominant MLB strikeout artist was one measly fingernail, I'd pry it out with a pair of pliers. Time to suck it up and yank it, Josh. Until then, I recommend not drafting this DL-cursed disappointment.
