Hardy before the Twins traded for him last week. The Red Sox were unwilling to part with either SP Clay Buchholz or RP Daniel Bard. The Brewers had little interest in P Michael Bowden, whom the Red Sox were willing to trade. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/630269 630269 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:44:02 EDT kffl.com 12 days 22 hours 10 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/630269 After a disappointing 2008 -- during which he went 2-9 with a 6.75 ERA -- Buchholz showed this season why the Red Sox refused to give up on him. He was actually better than his numbers would indicate, as he enjoyed a late-summer stretch during which he went 6-0 with a 1.05 ERA over eight starts. Not coincidentally, that dominant run coincided with the Red Sox separating themselves in the Wild Card race. With a strong start in Game 3 of the ALDS behind him, the 25-year-old righty proved he’s ready for the big stage, another indicator that he’s primed to ascend to fantasy-stud status next year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/599722 599722 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 2:48:15 EDT mlb.com 29 days 12 hours 6 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/599722 Red Sox GM Theo Epstein said Monday that he has already penciled Clay Buchholz into the 2010 starting rotation.

Closer Jonathan Papelbon blew the lead late, though, allowing the Angels to sweep the series. Buchholz allowed six hits and one walk in his start, recording three strikeouts.

Buchholz went five innings and allowed two runs on sx hits while walking one and striking out three.

Our View: Buchholz didn't dominate today, but he gave his team a chance to win and stay alive. Jonathan Papelbon couldn't close out the game with a two-run lead, so Boston will have to wait until next year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/577609 577609 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:24:02 EDT fanball.com 41 days 22 hours 30 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/577609 Daisuke Matsuzaka is scheduled to pitch in long relief if necessary on Sunday, according to the Providence Journal. If starter Clay Buchholz gets into trouble early, Dice-K is expected to take over.

Our View: Good idea by the Sox here to have a plan just in case the youngstrt struggles in his outing today. The way Buchholz has been pitching as of late, we not see Dice-K at all tonight. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/577142 577142 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:12:02 EDT fanball.com 42 days 2 hours 42 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/577142 Daisuke Matsuzaka will work in Boston's bullpen in the ALDS against the Angels, according to WEEI.com.

Our View: Dice-K allowed two or less earned runs in three of his last four starts of the regular season, but skipper Terry Francona decided to use him in the pen at the start of the playoffs. Francona added that he could potential carry a big load, namely if No. 3 starter Clay Buchholz struggles. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/571111 571111 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:20:01 EDT fanball.com 45 days 21 hours 34 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/571111 The Associated Press reports Boston Red Sox SPs Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz will start in that order in the American League Division Series. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/566772 566772 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 8:48:02 EDT kffl.com 48 days 6 hours 6 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/566772 The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have named Jon Lester as the Game 1 starter for the AL Division series.

Our View: Lester will be followed by Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz in Games 2 and 3, but the Sox did not announce who would go in Game 4 (if necessary). Dice-K is the obvious option, but if Lester dominates in the opening game he could be brought back on short rest. The Angels will combat that order with John Lackey, Jared Weaver, Scott Kazmir and Joe Saunders respectively. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/566153 566153 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:32:01 EDT fanball.com 48 days 17 hours 22 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/566153 He couldn't have ended the season under worse circumstances, having allowed 13 earned runs in eight innings over his last two starts. Even though he kept his command in check by issuing just three walks, he showed a disturbing susceptibility to the long ball by serving up six homers. Buchholz finishes the year with seven wins, a 4.21 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP and 68 strikeouts in 92 innings for a 6.7 K/9 rate. While his talent can't be disputed, his inconsistency should lead owners to look elsewhere for young arms in next year's draft. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/565617 565617 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:36:20 EDT mlb.com 48 days 20 hours 18 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/565617 The Red Sox have set their rotation for the first three games of the playoffs.Jon Lester will start the opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday or Thursday, followed by Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz.If the series goes to a fourth and fifth game, Lester could be available to pitch on short rest and Beckett would be on his regular rest for the finale. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/565530 565530 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:08:02 EDT foxsports.com 48 days 20 hours 46 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Clay_Buchholz/565530
