JAYS SURPRISED BY LEE DEAL

Source (nypost.com) (SP - bos) | 0 comments.

The Blue Jays would not accept Jason Knapp as the key player in a trade for Roy Halladay and that, more than anything, redirected the Phillies' attention to Cliff Lee. Toronto officials were adamant that Double-A starter Kyle Drabek be in a deal for Halladay, sources tell the Post. They liked Knapp, but worried that he was too far from the majors (pitching at Low-A) and had endured shoulder problems this year, a source said. That combination kept the Blue Jays from considering Knapp to be the main piece in the trade.PHILLIES TRADE 4 FOR LEE Toronto officials were surprised that Lee could be obtained without a more sure thing than Knapp leading the trade. The Phillies did not want to use Drabek to make this deal. And they have now completed a trade for a top-of-the-rotation starter without using either Drabek or J.A. Happ, who is currently in their rotation. This deal did come with a price, however. Two scouts who cover the Phillies system said they thought Knapp had a higher ceiling than Drabek, albeit with greater risk becuase he is only at Low-A. The scouts liked the rest of Philadelphia's haul of pitcher Carlos Carasco, catcher Lou Marson and infielder Jason Donald. But the scouts viewed them as good pieces for a 25-man roster at some point and not stars. Toronto officials have been telling interested teams that they are not interested in players that supplement a roster in exchange for Halladay. The Jays would prefer, these sources say, to shorten the quantity in a deal in exchange for high-end quality. A team official who has spoken to Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi said that he now believes the Red Sox have the best potential to get Halladay -- if Halladay is actually traded -- because Boston has offered top pitching prospect Clay Buchholz in a deal.

Red Sox | Close to acquiring V-Mart

Michael Hurley, of NESN.com, reports the Boston Red Sox are on the verge of landing Cleveland Indians C Victor Martinez, according to multiple sources. It is unknown who the Indians will receive in return. However, the Red Sox will not be sending SP Clay Buchholz or RP Daniel Bard, according to FOXSports.com.

Red Sox to acquire V-Mart

Source (fanball.com) (SP - bos) | 0 comments.

According to Bob Nightengale's Twitter account, the Red Sox are about to acquire Indians' catcher Victor Martinez.

Our View: No word on the specifics yet, but one would think that Clay Buchholz has to be involved. Another uncertainty is what do the Red Sox do with newly acquired first baseman Adam LaRoche? There is already a logjam at the position and V-Mart likely won't catch every day. Looks like the Sox have some crazy platoon situations ahead of them. Stay tuned for official details.

Red Sox denying trade rumor

Source (fanball.com) (SP - bos) | 0 comments.

According to a report at WBZTV.com, the Red Sox are denying a report that they have offered a package of Clay Buchholz, Michael Bowden, and Ryan Westmoreland to the Blue Jays for pitcher Roy Halladay. Yahoo! Sports reported earlier Monday that the Red Sox had, in fact, offered this deal to Toronto.

Our View: There were some questions about this deal from the beginning, so it makes sense that the report appears to be false. It would seem like the Blue Jays would jump on this deal if it was offered by the Sox, so the fact that Halladay is still in Toronto should tell you it's not true. Expect many more reports to come out on the Halladay front, and take them all with a grain of salt until something is confirmed.

Sox would reportedly include Buchholz in a Halladay deal

Source (fanball.com) (SP - bos) | 0 comments.

The Red Sox are now willing to include Clay Buchholz in any potential Roy Halladay deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Our View: The Red Sox have supposedly offered the Blue Jays a package of Buchholz, pitching prospect Michael Bowden and top outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland. Why they were unwilling to include Buchholz from the beginning is unclear, as his no-hitter came in 2007, and yet he has still been unable to permanently crack the Sox major league rotation. It is, of course, doubtful he will ever be anything near the kind of pitcher Roy Halladay is. Regardless, this package still is not as good as Philadelphia's, and Boston landing Toronto's ace remains a long-shot.

Buchholz suffers loss in Texas

Clay Buchholz gave up three earned runs on six hits over four innings in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Texas. He had two walks and three strikeouts.

Our View: Buchholz was dealt a loss while making a spot-start in place of the injured Tim Wakefield (back strain). Buchholz has a bright future in the bigs, but was a disappointment for fantasy owners who employed him in lineups tonight.

Ian Kinsler went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Clay Buchholz in tonight's 3-1 win over the Red Sox at Rangers Ballpark.

Buchholz labored in this one after shutting down the Blue Jays

Buchholz labored in this one after shutting down the Blue Jays in his first big league start of the year last week. While he did throw 90 pitches (56 strikes) over the four frames, his early hook was more because manager Terry Francona had a rested bullpen to call on than it was Buchholz getting knocked around. With Tim Wakefield on the DL for at least one more start, the young phenom will look to come back strong when he takes another turn in the rotation July 28 vs. Oakland.

Buchholz was sent back to Triple-A Pawtucket after getting the chance to make a spot start July 17, but his services were required when Tim Wakefield was placed on the DL with a lower back strain Tuesday. Buchholz has been superb at Triple-A this season (7-2, 2.36 ERA), and he showed impressive stuff while holding the Blue Jays to one earned run over 5 2/3 innings on the road in that July 17 outing. The Rangers are a tough team, especially in their home park, but owners in deeper formats may want to take a chance on the talented Buchholz for this one.

Clay Buchholz looked very good on Friday in the Red Sox' 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. Buchholz went 5.2 innings and allowed one run on four hits while walking three and striking out three.

Our View: Buchholz has been dominating the minors this season, and he showed tonight that he is good enough to pitch at this level. He doesn't figure to stay with the club long, but when he gets a spot in the rotation he will be an excellent fantasy option.

News: Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that he chose to start Clay Buchholz Friday in Toronto in order to line up his rotation and also to reward the pitcher for his work this season in the minor leagues, according to the Boston Globe. "Coming out of the break, we really wanted to line up our pitching. And when you have the fourth day out of the break ... it really gives you a lot of rest. It can also lead to a tough day coming back. That's why we're working out [Thursday] night," said Francona. "We can get a little heavy just because of the time off. And it's a tough assignment to draw. So what we're thinking is that Buchholz is going to be very excited, turn him loose, and maybe he absolutely deals, which would be great, and we also line up the rest of our pitching. And there's something to be said for keeping Buchholz engaged in what we're doing. This kid has gone down and done everything we've asked. I don't think 'throwing him a bone' is the right way to say it, but keeping him engaged in what we're doing and showing him we believe in what he's doing, I think there's something to be said for that."
