I don't understand your point. The Sox have made it very clear they don't want to move Buchholz unless they get wowed with a deal. So thay would make him untouchable. And besides this year Phil Hughes was straight ass cheeks. And his nice season was out of the bullpen, not starting. While Buchholz showed stretches this season where he proved what the hype is about. I really don't understand your point. Would it be too much trouble to ask you do a better job of conveying it more effectively ?
Boss Tweed:
You know who didn't have a good season until they were 25 ?
Tom Glavine and I would say he went to have a half way decent career.
Chris Carpenter also says hello. He didn't tap into his potential until he was 29 :o
Boss Tweed:
BTW when did a 4.75 ERA, 1.544 WHIP, and several miles off your fast ball become whats hot in the streets ?
OG Hack Wilson:
if you want to sit there and wait on the "prospects" to develope, go ahead
the yankees got it right - you go after what you need in FA to win NOW, not 5 years from now

Buchholz showed signs this season. And the Sox signed Lackey and are going hard for Gonzo right now. I would call that going for what you need to win. And the Yanks can get whatever player they want in free agency because they can outspend every other team in Baseball by a large margin in a broken economic structure. And I don't see what any of this has to do with what the Sox and other teams see in Clay Buchholz.
Really Hack you are doing a horrible job of conveying whatever message you're trying to get across. Are you trying to say the Sox should just buy it year in and year out like the Yanks do ? When it's proven no other team can. Every team in Baseball can't afford to gut the farm system for a season or two rental like the Yanks can because the Yanks have endless resources and Seligs blessing to do whatever they want. Are you trying to say Buchholz has no talent even though the Sox and many other teams in Baseball feel he will be a star considering every big trade that is talked about involving the Sox, Buchholz name is the center piece of the trade. The initial argument was Buchholz has no talent, which has been proven false by his demand in every trade talk the Sox are involved with.
