| | His fastball, curveball and changeup all have ‘plus’ potential, in part due to a deceptive 3/4-arm slot. His fastball sits at 90-93 mph, but it has heavy movement and he throws it “downhill” with pinpoint accuracy to both sides of the plate.

| | Asked how he managed to finish strongly after two rough innings in his spring start yesterday, Clay Buchholz paraphrased Bing Crosby.

| | Don’t get John Lackey wrong: As both a pitcher and a competitive professional athlete, he relished the challenge of facing the Red Sox [team stats], particularly in the postseason.

| | Baseball America compares him to Jacoby Ellsbury, but says he is a better hitter at the same stage of their respective careers.
