However the Red Sox are also extremely well run and that is a great combination.

On the other, it's pretty cool, since I'm a baseball fan (married to a Red Sox fan, no less). It illustates the impact of good (or poor) management. The Red Sox's failure to win for so long was, for the most part, the product of poor management/ownership. Now, with smart management & ownership, they're a juggernaught. That makes for great baseball. On the one hand, this is annoying, as I’m a Yankees fan. On the other, it’s pretty cool, since I’m a baseball fan (married to a Red Sox fan, no less).

I prefaced the statement by saying that their statistics were similar breaking in against major league hitters. You're right, that Judging w/ such a small sample size is not very reliable, but the fact is that, statistically speaking (this is a baseball stats website after all) the two are very similar, and that I didn't understand where the idea that Buchholz is so far inferior to price comes from. Also, on the scouting end (if the stats aren't good enough), it appears Price is experiencing similar growing pains to what Clay went through last season. In Price's own words, he has lost his slider. This points most probably to some issue with his mechanics, similarly to the way Buchholz struggled mechanically much of last season. If this were 6 months after Clay's no-hitter rather than 6 months after Price's impressive playoff run from the bullpen you'd be singing a different tune. Explain to me how the two are so far apart (with more words than your completely un-backed opinions). To be honest Mark, I’m pretty surprised at your response.
