In this one, we're getting some VALUE because of the perception and ERA of Buckholtz. And I cannot argue what he DID to start the season. But where we're getting value is by looking at "what have you done for me lately". And he's given some solid starts, including a complete game in his last one. Normally, we would stay away after a complete game but due to the rest and you HAVE to think that Boston comes out of the 2H with all they've got as management says that they're NOT ready to mail in the season yet. Thin ice for the Red Sox, but they'll try. On the opposite side, Shields is in a nice groove and shouldn't have any problems holding down the Red Sox to a few runs or less.
