Remolding Clay

The Red Sox move Clay Buchholz to the bullpen:

Boston manager John Farrell announced today that the veteran right-hander will be moved to the bullpen, with Eduardo Rodriguez scheduled to step into the rotation and start Tuesday against the Orioles.

“This is something that’s been done for a lot of years. A starter scuffles, they go to the bullpen to work things out. That’s what we’re doing with Clay,” Farrell said.

Buchholz’s strikeout rate cratered while his walks and home run rates rose sharply. His velocity has not dropped, so it seems might be a location issue.
