Who Should Be This Week's Amica Pitcher of the Week?The Red Sox started off last week with a few gruesome outings from their starting staff. A week later, though, Boston's rotation looks to be as sturdy as it's been all season.

Clay Buchholz was finally able to get out of his early-season funk, throwing 6 1/3 innings and allowing just three earned runs during Friday night's 7-5 win over Cleveland.

Felix Doubront has looked like the epitome of consistency for the Red Sox this year. The 24-year-old righty has used his pitches properly and is now 3-1 on the season, recording two wins and allowing just four runs over 12 1/3 innings in the past week.

Daniel Bard, who had questions swirling around his move to the rotation to start the season, is continuing to prove that his place as a starter is as secure as ever. The right-hander had a tough time finishing off the Royals earlier in the week, but six innings against the Indians helped Boston stay on its current four-game win streak.

Another impressive pitcher during the week was reliever Vicente Padilla. Padilla threw 4 1/3 innings of scoreless ball and helped get the Red Sox out of a number of tough situations in his setup role.
