I voted Bowden only because I dumped all my Buchholz cards after the No No :shock:

Buchholz by a mile. Bowden is a potential middle of the rotation starter, not top of the rotation like BUchholz.

I have tons of Bowden scanned Here and plenty literally hundreds of the lower end BDP and BCDP unscanned. That being said, and parallel to many of the other comments here. I truly think that Buchholz has the electric stuff to be a top of the rotation starter. Bowden in my opinion can be a solid mid-rotation starter.

When we got Big Mac I was in HS and swimming late at night when the news broke, I ran screaming and jumped off of the life guard stand into the pool....

If we trade Troy Glaus and Bryan Anderson for Bowden I vow to do the same thing and it is mid-winter where I dwell...


If the Red Sox make that trade I'll need a lifeguard.

If Buchholz can regain his confidence, he'll be the better pitcher.

However, I don't think the actual difference between the two is that great, and I'd rather trade Buchholz because you can get more for him, due to his perceived potential, and I don't think you'd lost that much with Bowden, considering what you need to get out of him.

I really have to admit I think more today than I did yesterday of Bowden, just as a person. You have to admire someone who looks at me and says "You made a good investment" when talking about themselves. It wasn't a cocky thing at all either, it's good to see someone come across as super nice and genuine.

Bowden is better.
Clay will be traded soon anyway, the sox are over hyping him by saying he's untouchable..to get top dollar for him..

There are rumors surrounding both players in a deal for a catcher. I dont see the problem with keeping both and signing varitek for 1-2 years.

Me 2. I know that if they get a young catcher no one in the Minors will have a shot. I say bring Tek back at 2 years $13 Mill with a 3rd year option, then bring up Exposito!!
