According to several report, Clay Buchholz is no longer the wirey, skinny kid of past years. He has put on a dozen pounds of new muscle mass to help his body make it through the grind of 30+ starts during a big league season.
Buchholz pitched as well as any starter down the stretch in August & September. 9 out of 10 starts were quality starts. He could & should have had a playoff win against the Angels to his credit, except for an unusual implosion by Pap that ended the season.
Some say that Buchholz will be fighting Tim Wakefield for the #5 spot in the rotation. Right now, if I'm Terry Francona, Buchholz would be my #4 starter with Dice-K needing to re-prove himself for the 5th spot against Wake.
