There have been few players over the past 10 years that were more frustrating to root for than Clay Buchholz. After throwing this gem in just his second career game the sky was the limit for him. However the next year, in 2008, Buchholz went 2-9 with a 6.75 ERA. He rebounded in 2009 and by 2010 Red Sox fans thought he had come into his own. That season Buchholz finished sixth in the Cy Young voting by going 17-7 with a 2.33 ERA. Life had other plans for him though. Aside from a REMARKABLE 2013 (12-1, 1.74 ERA in 16 games) Buchholz was never able to find the consistency needed to be a dependable member of a rotation. Two months ago he claimed this would be the year he finally throws 200 innings. Obviously I don't believe him but after watching that clip of his no-hitter it's fun to think about what could have been.
