PAWTUCKET -- WEEI.com's Alex Katz has confirmed a report, which first appeared on the website [1] of PawSox radio announcer Dan Hoard, that the Toronto Blue Jays had two pro scouts in attendance watching Clay Buchholz pitch for Triple-A Pawtucket today. Jays G.M. J.P. Ricciardi had told multiple media outlets that Toronto will scout other clubs in preparation for a potential deal. With Buchholz pitching, the team had two cross-checkers in attendance. Buchholz allowed five runs (four earned) in 5.1 innings, permitting eight hits and a walk while striking out three.
