Clay Buchholz to Philly

[powerchord86]

Right-hander Clay Buchholz traded to Phillies

I don't mind it. Tobias is behind Kingery, so he's expendable.

 

[powerchord86]

Not a bad arm to help the rotation. He's hasn't been what he once was in recent years but if he can find himself again would be huge.

We still don't have enough 30-year olds, Klentak. 1,2,3........................



I liked Tobias, 24, a 10th round of 2015 Draft. .301/.362/.439 in '15, '16. He hit a combined .291 with 31 doubles, nine home runs, 69 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 127 games with Class A Lakewood and Class A Advanced Clearwater this season.

Tobias wasn't passing Kingery, and he didn't hit at Clearwater. 2 homers and a bunch of singles.

Sold high on Tobias.

Mid season change of teams. Only 34 games at Clearwater for Tobias. 93 games at Lakewood, .304/.375/.444, and 7 homers. Kingery did well at CLR,.293/.360/.411 before going to REA. Anyway, I hope he advances.

Sounds like a salary dump for the Sox. The Phillies will pay him 13 million next year.

 

[broncosmitty]

Damn your stupid break Omar.

 

[broncosmitty]

Id give up two Mike Pelfreys for a Clay Buchhhholtz. For what it's worth.

 

[redseat]

if he gets calls from the umpires he can be good
if runners aren't on base, he can be good

1 or both of those things don't go his way... watch out

Yeah, he seems like a total crapshoot. Kind of like a little better version of Joe Blanton. He'll go out and give a good effort but everything has to fall into place. His yearly stats look very streaky.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

He is suspect to give up homeruns. The one year contract works in our favor though. So not
a big risk.

He most certainly is a streaky pitcher... and he is very "streaky" when it comes to his hair. Dude spends more time on the mound fixing it then he actually does pitching

 

[Carnzo]

First order of business is to get him on a diet of your cheessteak sandwiches so he can gain some weight.

 

[powerchord86]

Just hope he doesn't try to pull this stunt again...
