Re: Clay Buchholz
Other teams would have a Buchholz in the majors by now, but why should the Red Sox? Hughes and Lilly are excellent examples on why Buck should stay in the minors and develop as a pitcher rather than be pushed to succeed. Let him build up confidence and experience that he may have missed out on since he wasn't always a pitcher.
If the bullpen falls apart, or a playoff spot is locked up, then maybe give him a shot. Otherwise, just let him develop.
