Clay Buchholz

[Pesky fan]

Buchholz lucky? I hardly think so. To me' date=' he will soon be the ace of the staff. If you get and ERA of 3.50 or less today, you're on heck of a pitcher and I, too, see him real close to the 3.50.[/quote']

 

 

I believe he'll be a 20-game winner this year.

UER or not, Buch got his teeth kicked in today.

Spring stats mean nothing.

 

Some pitchers will go out there and throw nothing but fastballs etc. Try to work on a specific pitch.

Still, only 5 of the runs were earned. Buchholz had a 2.33 ERA last year and I'm sure in some starts he gave up 5 earned runs. I'm not worried.

As good as the staff is, I think Clay will emerge as the ace. I think he's that good.
