Sometimes great, sometimes lousy. Coach Parcells used to call players

That's fine. But 6 years and $51 million later, I hope he proves to
be more than that.

I am one who hopes that he can start to exhibit some dominance in the second half as he gets used to the ball, the strike zone, and being in another country. At 6 years and $51 mil, he is paid right between Clement and Pavano/Wright. So it doesn't take much for him to rise above his salary (at least for what $10 mil has been buying lately which isn't much).

Did Josh Beckett spend last year walking around with a Redneck to English dictionary in his back pocket...I think there were plenty of interpreters on the team to help him with that. Yet how was his adjustment period?

I think he'll be fine. This kid has too much stuff to not thrive, eventually.

Not sure what you are referring to. If you mean my reference to a different country, I do expect him to need to and will adjust. His diet is probably a little different and we already saw write-ups about him trying to adjust how he sleeps in hotels.
