Oh man, I didn't realize he was called up. Nice stuff .406. I really like your blog.

I think Bucholz is a bigger prospect than Ellsbury. Ellsbury is an exciting leadoff type hitter, and having Pedroia to accompany that type of young talent on the offensive side is nothing short of good signs pointing to the future.

Having said that, Bucholz isno slouch in the future department. This guy is a future ace and should replace vets like Schilling nicely. Bucholz has proven he can handle a long season as his arm has learned to play a 142 game season. He was recruited to play SS in college, but made strides on the mound that particularly payed off. Those strides alloted to his 5-pitch arsenal. As explained in your blog, Bucholz has ace written all over him.

The Sox surely have a bright future ahead of them.

Awesome. I can't wait to see how he does. I imagine he and Phil Hughes will be compared an awful lot throughout their careers... well... as long as they are successful. They are very similar pitchers.

Hopefully, Bucholz can stabilize that rotation. They have to have to improve there if they want to hold of the Yanks.
