Clubhouse reaction to Buchholz

Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek when asked if Buchholz is a major-league pitcher?

"No question. No question at all."

Manager Terry Francona:

"I thought he kept his poise really well. . . . I thought that was about what we were expecting."

Angels manager Mike Scioscia:

"Oh, you can see that he has got great stuff. With a little refining this guy looks like he's gonna be good for a long time. I was very impressed."

Clay Buchholz on Buchholz:

"It's something that I have been working for since I joined the Red Sox. No words can really descibe it. That's what I have wanted to do for the past three years in pro ball, and today was the day and I had a great time with it. . . I will remember this forever."
