Greetings from deep in the blogosphere...as many of you saw from my pitch-by-pitch posting, I watched the 22-year-old Sox prospect pitch Memorial Day weekend and he was kind enough to give me 15 minutes of his time. Here's a story that ran in the Metro several days ago about Buchholz

Congrats to Brad and Beau Mills for Beau's selection in the first round by the Cleveland Indians...he's been a sometimes visitor in the Sox clubhouse over the last three years and it's been interesting to watch him get progressively bigger and stronger as the years have gone on....

Quick question though: Do the Cleveland Indians need another slugger that is likely to be a DH? Guess that's a quandry they won't have to deal with for a while.

More on Buchholz in a little bit, including a transcription of the entire interview from beginning to end, as well as the interview with Portland pitching coach Mike Cather and Reading Phillies catcher Chris Coste, who hit over .300 in an extended stint with the Philadelphia Phillies last season.

Buchholz whiffed Coste twice during that game including a three-pitch strikeout in his last at bat of the game, and said that the righty has "as good a stuff as anybody in the big leagues right now" High praise indeed.
