I think IMO Buchholz will split the time with Ziegler for the eighth inning. If he pitches good the Red Sox will be teased BIGTIME to pick up that option. I would pick it up and trade him, but it doesn't have to be in the winter, maybe sometime in spring training unless you get a prospect you like. If Buchholz pitches good in the last month they pick it up. If not see you later.
