Beckett: Curt Who?

This story is being portrayed as Josh Beckett bashing Curt Schilling, and by implication defending Bobby Valentine, but frankly I don't see the bash or the defense.

“I haven’t seen him around this year. Is he one of our pitchers?” Beckett said.

“I haven’t seen him around,” Beckett continued. “I’d think if someone knew that much they’d probably be a little closer to it. Game’s a lot easier from over there [as a media person], I think. As far as him speaking about how things are being run, I haven’t seen him around here to where he would know that much."

It's a clear signal to Schilling to shut up, but it reads as pretty jocular. Beckett may just have finessed the quote, but he does not deny Schilling's point.
