How much longer do you think the Sox will have Buchholz on their roster? I'm not really sure. I think that he pitched great last night against the Jays, but wait, aren't the Red Sox interested in Toronto's Ace Roy Halladay? Yes they are! Hmmm interesting, maybe the Red Sox were shopping Buchholz for J.P. Ricciardi last night! Who knows.
I believe the Sox are going to be giving their big 3 (Beckett, Lester, and Wake) a few long rests inbetween starts to save their arms for September and October.
If the Red Sox are in the Halladay Sweepstakes, I really hope they don't give up much. But, in Theo I trust. I don't think he will give up too much talent for 1.5 years of Roy Halladay.
Although...I would trade Buchholz, Bard, Lars Anderson, and a player to be named later for the Cy Young Award winner. If any trade that was proposed to me that included Bowden and Buchholz together, I would reject it immediately.
Buccholz and Bowden are the teams top 2 prospects for starters, I wouldn't lose both of them in one trade, even if it was for Roy Halladay.
I really hope to see Theo have a smart trading season, maybe moving a few parts like Penny, Delcarmen, Saito, and Jeff Bailey around to acquire some good role/bench players.
If Halladay does come our way, or even Adam Dunn or any other All-Star caliaber player, I hope the price is right and Theo doesn't give up our whole farm system.
