ProJo: No More Buchholz in 2007
According to Steven Krasner’s excellent blog on projo.com, the Red Sox have decided to play it safe with prized pitching prospect Clay Buchholz, and shut him down for the season.
While this diminishes my dreams of the young hurler ascending to October rookie-hero status in the mold of 1984-1985 Bret Saberhagen, I can’t really argue with this. His innings are well above his career high, and the staff must think it prudent to keep such a powerful weapon off of the postseason roster.
Nice work this year, and we’ll see you in March.
