Buchholz solid in AFL start

Written on October 30th, 2008 by Shawn Medeiros7 Comments

Clay Buchholz, currently playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League, pitched five innings of one run ball yesterday evening against the Mesa Solar Sox. Buchholz struck out three and walked two, dropping his ERA to 2.60 over his four starts for Scottsdale.

Buchholz will only be allowed to pitch 25 innings for the team, and after his latest start he is at 17.1 IP so it is likely he will only have two more starts in Arizona. The 24 year old has 12 strikeouts against only five walks so far. Opponents are batting .210 against Buchholz.

Just like 6.1% of all Americans during the economy’s recession, Manny Ramirez is currently unemployed and looking for work. Worse yet for the guy, there is a good chance the new administration is going to tax the bejesus out of him to spread the wealth around. Talk about kicking a guy while he’s down, right?

Standing in line at the soup kitchen, everyone talks about their dreams and aspirations for gainful employment. Manny the Ballplayer knows where he’d like to end up, too. According to a source in the New York Post, Ramirez wants to sign with the New York Yankees and have 19 chances a year to “punish” the Red Sox.
