I thought the same thing Uston, but I remember reading a couple of months ago that he is likely to be rated one. Elias is bad.

Tuq, sabermetric studies are basically universal in that pitching on three days' rest = bad. But I'm sure there are exceptions, and Beckett's previous success on it + keeping him to a low pitch count + him being a power pitcher assuredly helps. The Sox could've easily pulled Beckett earlier and used him on three days in Game 4, and quite frankly I'm surprised why they didn't just to have the option available to them.
