Last year, after the regular season was over, Clay Buchholz' season continued in the Arizona Fall League in October & November. When his time in Arizona was done he got 2 months off in December & January before reporting to Spring Training in Fort Myers in February. After a good spring he was assigned to Pawtucket in April for the first half of the season. Arizona to Florida to Rhode Island so far.
After the All-Star break in July Buchholz was called up for a cameo start in Toronto. His name was bantered about by every sports talk show as trade bait. The deadline passed & Buchholz was still a Red Sox. Once Tim Wakefield went down Clay became a regular starter in Boston rotation.
Arizona - Florida - Rhode Island - Toronto - Boston. It's been quite a journey for Buchholz who finds himself starting Game 3 of the ALDS today with the Red Sox needing his best performance to stay alive. Let's hope Clay has matured from his travels & he puts together a good start.
