Finally...It's Clay Buchholz





Tonight is the eagerly anticipated season debut for the Red Sox number one prospect Clay Buchholz.  His statistics in Pawtucket this season have been phenomenal.  So impressive in fact, that the thought of trading him for Roy Halladay (a hopelessly hypothetical situation) before July 31 is making Red Sox fans equally as nervous to send him inside the division as Ricciardi is of sending Halladay over here.  

Nobody knows how long Buchholz will be up in the big leagues, regardless of how impressive he is in tonight's spot start, but the performance will none the less be scrutinized over and over again in the debate adhering to whether or not Boston should accommodate him into a six man rotation.
