Description: Boston starter Clay Buchholz has denied using sunscreen to doctor his pitches this season. SOURCE: WEEI | Insight: Buchholz said he has used sunscreen in the past but not this season. Buchholz probably won't draw any disciplinary action from the league (it would be pretty hard to ban sunscreen) but umpires are definitely going to keep a closer eye on him going forward. Buchholz (6-0, 1.60 ERA) is off to a terrific start and should be started in all fantasy leagues. | | |

We'll have to monitor Buchholz' command when spring training games begin -- keeping his walk total down will be the key to having a good season. | | |

We're still waiting for him to return to 2010 form (17-7, 2.33 ERA, 1.203 WHIP). | | |

With a 4.16 ERA and 2-3 starts to go, he's getting close. | | |

Description: Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz continued his two-month long quest to get his ERA under five Thursday against the White Sox. Buchholz held Chicago to one run on six hits in eight innings. | Insight: Buchholz was somehow both extremely wild and extremely hittable in the first two months of the season, giving up 67 hits and walking 27 batters in his first 49 1/3 innings. Since then, however, the right-hander has gone 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA and a 45/9 K/BB in 51 1/3 innings. He has proven himself trustworthy again. | | |

He walked one and struck out eight. | Insight: The loss was Buchholz's third of the season. His ERA since May 27 is 2.91 (it had been 7.84 prior to that date) but Buchholz is still too inconsistent to be considered a must-start. | | |
