Buchholz gets promoted

Buchholz has finally got the call to pitch at Pawtucket. Clay is widely considered the best pitching prospect left in the minors. He is clearly the best prospect the Red Sox have to offer. So far, he has completely dominated AA. He posted a 1.77 ERA and was sporting an amazing K/BB rate of 116/22. Looking at that, it's not hard to see why he is so highly totted. Now that he will be pitching in Pawtucket, he is only one step away from the big show. If he continues to succeed at AAA, i would not be shocked at all if he see time with the Red Sox. If Schilling continues to be hurt and Lester continues to strike no one out, Buchholz may be next in line. If he hasn't been up yet, come September expect Buccholz to be wearing a Big League jersey.
