The Red Sox wanted Buchholz to work with Double-A Portland pitching coach Mike Cather so they sent him down two levels. "Pummeling" is the word used by Globe to describe Buchholz’s treatment by opposing batters, as he went 2-9, 6.75 in 16 big league games, racking up 72 strikeouts, 41 walks and 11 home runs in 76 innings.
