Time to step up

He has certainly made the most of his opportunities this year and has kept this team in the wild card and keep some structure to an other wise unstable rotation. Clay is 4-1 in his last 6 games with a 3.00 ERA and 27 strikeouts. Not bad for someone who was 1-2 in his first 6 starts and ended up being demoted back to triple-A . He has been improving with every start and with the way the bats are playing he might get to 9 wins which would be a career high.
He was the 42 pick in the first round of the 2005 draft for the sox. He went 3-1 in 2007 which included a no hitter against the Baltimore Orioles in just his second start in the majors. The following year wasn’t so pleasant as he went 2-9 and I personally thought he got beat mentally.
He has shown that he is the future of the Red Sox even though he was in some of the Roy Halladay trade talks. I’m so glad we didn’t give into our panic and just give away some of our homegrown talent. Instead we our leaning on him to bring us to the playoffs this year and to keep this great team in the hunt for many more years to come.
