Posted by DuckSnort 3 days ago (http://us.rd.yahoo.com)

Clay Buchholz's final Grapefruit League start fell apart in the fourth inning. Buchholz allowed six runs and nine hits over 5 1-3 innings but the Boston Red Sox rallied for an 8-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. His spring ERA jumped from 0.46 to 2.52. Matt Joyce and Gabe Gross each hit a two-run homer off Buchholz in the fourth.

The News

Clay Buchholz was rocked for the first time this spring giving up six runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Tuesday. He allowed two home runs and struck out four.

Our View

After a no hitter in 2007 Buchholz looked like Boston's ace of the future, but last year the wheels came off and he struggled mightily with a 2-9 record and a bloated 6.75 ERA. He shouldn't be that bad again, but holds little value outside of deep AL-only leagues, assuming he cracks the Red Sox rotation.
