WHEN will Buchholz get the call

Anybody have any idea when Clay Buchholz will actually get called up to start? I know it's been announced that he will be the starter in the first game after the All-Star Break, but when will the Sox officially call him up?

I'm not sure if there's any sort of trend in the time of day teams call minor leaguers up, or if there's any other way of knowing when - I hope nobody suggests Twitter...

Whats the difference?

Either way, the Sox made it clear that this is a one and done start. He is supposedly going right back down after his start.

the difference

i suspect this is a fantasy-related question. otherwise, there’s no reason to care what time/day the call-up happens.

I disagree

though I do believe this to be fantasy related, many are anticipating the arrival of Buchholz regardless of whether one has a fantasy team or not. I think many do care the time and day of call up because they are giving this guy a chance to show his talent.

I would imagine that day

Theyll probably wait until a few hours before, just to be safe. They usually do with transactions.

I heard

Friday after the all star game is that not happening?

Should presumably be up that day, if it’s a one-and-done situation.

They are showcasing him

for a run at Halladay or someone else. Boston had better hope he does well

Is there any way to get texted when he gets called up?

I hope this doesn’t sound as ridiculous to anybody else, I’m just very anxious. Any sites or anything that would send a text to a cell phone?

If there isn't you just

had a brilliant idea for a subscription service. In 5 years ESPN will buy you out for millions

hah

I wish, but I’m sure I’m just one of many who have thought of this kind of thing. Although it would be nice to put a little © next to that idea.

Well, the Extra Bases blog on boston.com would be quick. weei.com would also have it pretty quickly. They both have twitter and rss feeds…
