When the Blue Jays brought in both Clayton Richard and Clay Buchholz last offseason, the hope was that the veterans could provide some guidance for a young staff while eating some innings in a rebuilding year.
Neither were really able to do the latter, but even during short stays in the big leagues it sounds like both veterans made an impact on their young teammates and a positive impression in the clubhouse. When it comes to Buchholz in particular, it seems like that’s all he’s done lately since he returned to the Blue Jays’ active roster.
