Roy Halladay, current ace, takes on potential future ace, Clay Buchholz. Buchholz has been drawing aces for the past three starts now. Before this, he faced off with CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander, losing both games, but pitching decent...

In a homage to Twitter, the new social media application that is changing how news is delivered (in the same vein how blogs changed everything) I bring to you a summary of each Red Sox player on the 25-man roster in 140 characters or less (the maximum number of...

So far is seems that way. Keith Law responded to a question in his chat yesterday, asking whether or not Buchholz’s Groundball percentage is real or not. Law’s response: “I only saw one outing but I could believe it. His arm slot was a little lower...

I had been thinking about this, and Evan mentioned it as well. But would the Red Sox be better off letting Jason Bay walk? Would they be better off taking the draft picks, finding a one-year stopgap. And hopefully letting Josh Reddick take over the position, at a...

The Red Sox were gracious enough to issue me a press pass for the Pawtucket/Norfolk game at Fenway Park today. I barely made it into my seat for the first pitch thanks to some heavy traffic on the Pike. I saw Jake Arrieta, one of the Orioles’ fabled pitching...

With John Smoltz’s debacle in New York (granted, the stadium didn’t do him any favors) behind us, it’s time to look ahead and figure out how exactly we’re going to make the playoffs with exactly two reliable pitchers in the rotation. Look, Clay...

When the 2009 season began, there was very little doubt in anyone’s mind that the Red Sox had both the depth and talent in the starting rotation for it to be considered, not only the teams’ primary strength, but what made them favorites to advance to the...

Buchholz hopes to evolve as a starter. Hopefully that fastball command can improve–hasn’t been great in his first few starts of the season.
