Confusion

Christine used to be convinced that Clay Buchholz pitched in the National League, specifically for the Rockies, before he was a Red Sox. It took us a while, but we figured out it was because she confused him with former Phillies prospect Taylor Buchholz. By this season, she had it straightened out, but today the Red Sox acquired Taylor, who was a prospect in the Phillies organization until he was included in the Billy Wagner trade.

At least they're not related:

Buchholz -- who is no relation to Clay Buchholz -- went 1-0 with a 3.75 ERA in nine relief appearances (12 innings) between the Rockies and Blue Jays in 2010.

Um, Nick Cafardo says "rewrite":

So it turns out Taylor Buchholz is related to Clay Buchholz. Nick Cafardo asked Clay about it last season and he said the two were distant cousins. Now they're potentially teammates.

Phillies: Ryne Sandberg could rewrite his Phillies legacy. He was hired as AAA manager. Christine thinks he was promised the big-league job when Charlie Manuel retires.

Coaching reunion

So if the Phillies hire Ryne Sandberg as a minor league manager or major league coach, do I have to reconsider and accept him as the Phillies greatest homegrown second baseman over Chase Utley?

Another homegrown second baseman, Juan Samuel, may also join the coaching staff.
