By ⋅ April 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Opening Day may be Thursday, but first the Boston Red Sox had to wrap up their final week of Spring Training.

Red Sox 2012 Starting Rotation Preview: Clay Buchholz

By ⋅ March 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Clay Buchholz (6-3, 3.48 ERA, 82.2 IP, 60 K, 31 BB): Everyone seems to be penciling in Buchholz for a repeat of his 2010 performance. But are those appropriate expectations? Everyone will point to that impressive 17-7 record and the awe-inducing 2.33 ERA, but they tend forget that 2010 was Buchholz’s first truly productive season [...]

Non-roster shortstop Pedro Ciriaco gave the Boston Red Sox some pretty good reasons to keep on the squad come opening day.

Red Sox Spring Training Update (3/5-11): Offense Clicking Early

By ⋅ March 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

One thing is clear a week into Spring Training: this Red Sox team can hit. In going 4-2-1 this week, the Red Sox averaged over five runs a game.

No Edwin Jackson? No Roy Oswalt? No Problem.

By ⋅ February 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Red Sox have been rumored to be after just about every starting pitcher for the past fifteen seasons. There will never be a winter where the Sox aren’t in the running, even if it’s hearsay, for a free agent. With a little less than three weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, we know [...]

Report: Blue Jays Asked for Clay Buchholz in John Farrell Talks

By ⋅ November 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Blue Jays manager John Farrell, the former Red Sox pitching coach, has long been revered for his baseball mind, he’s attention to detail, and his willingness to take charge of a situation.

By ⋅ August 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Erik Bedard, your role with the 2011 Boston Red Sox might have just grown a bit. Less than 24 hours after the Sox inked a deal to trade for the former Baltimore ace and Seattle staffer, news out of Clay Buchholz camp is looking grim. On the disabled list with a “back” injury since June [...]

Andrew Miller Looking to Find Comfort Zone in Boston

By ⋅ July 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox sure have perfected the whole “easing young starting pitchers in” routine. I like to call them the Quadruple-A starts. Try your luck at the gutter dwellers of the major leagues before testing out Sunday night baseball in the Bronx. If you can keep Robert Andino guessing in the box, maybe you’re ready [...]

Sound the trumpets. Beat the drums. Bang the gongs. Do something with some other instrument. Clay Buchholz will soon be back with the Red Sox. The man with the 6-3 record and 3.48 ERA will finally stabilize a pitching rotation that has been ravaged by stomach illnesses and spot starts. The 1-2-3 punch necessary for [...]
