Jose AbreuIts always interesting to see how international players adjust when coming to the major leagues, and it looks like Abreu had his breakout moment on Tuesday hitting two home runs. The man who called the "Cuban Barry Bonds" is just the latest Cuban refugee to make a splash in major league baseball following Yoenis Cespedes, Aroldis Champman, and Yasiel Puig.
Clay Bucholtz
Bucholtz was unhittable last season before going on the disabled list with a shoulder injury that cost him three months of action. I think he is the key to the Red Sox rotation this season. I don't expect him to have a sub 2.00 ERA like he did last season, but he has to be better than he was in his first start when he went 4 and 1/3 innings allowing 13 hits.
Game of the Day: Yankees vs Red Sox
If you're not already watching to see how Clay Bucholtz bounces back from his brutal first start then you should tune into MLB Network at least to see the first meeting between these fierce rivals. Michael Pineda won the Yankees fifth starter spot in the spring and did not leave Joe Giradi second guessing that decision by going 6 innings and only allowing 1 run in his first start. And if you don't care about seeing either Pineda or Bucholtz, at least tune in for the chance of a brawl between these two clubs. We're long overdue for one of those.
