And once Pronger is gone...that boy will have a big, fat, well-deserved "C" on his jersey!
Buchholz, Bard and Bowden! Ya gotta love the Sox "Killer B's" pitching! :up
IMO, if they trade any of them at the trade deadline it will be Bowden.
Bard is more than likely "untouchable".
Ummm ....
You failed to read the REST of the STORY
Eddie Bodine also pitched in this game and the Hens ended up winning the game in extra's 1-0.
Both pitchers pitched extremely well.
Bodine went 9 innings giving up just ONE hit and Buckholtz went 8 strong giving up 4 hits.
I'd say both teams pitching looks real good for the current future.

Interesting that there is NO mention in the story of the opposition pitcher pitching as well or better and the other team WINNING the game .....
According to the Providence Journal-Bulletin, first baseman/outfielder Chris Carter has joined the Red Sox in Anaheim. It is not known if Carter will be activated for tonight's game against the Angels. The 26-year-old was hitting .301 with the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Is he taking Ortiz 's spot ?
He's insurance IF Ortiz is more injured than they think. They haven't activated him yet.
I'm not gonna lie Sabres, I'm very concerned about Papi.
IMO, this is more than a slump. It's hard for me to knock the big man, he's brought SO MUCH to this team and has been a class act all the way. I'm just afraid this MAY be the beginning of the end.
I think the Sox are gonna have to pony up one or two of their promising youngsters to get a bat at the trade deadline. If it were up to me, I'd sink or swim with Papi and try to upgrade (once again
) at shortstop.Bill, the good thing about the Sox is that they are playing well and they have such a surplus especially with pitching that you could dangle and good pitching prospect or two to get a solid hitter to fill Papi's shoes. I look at it like this. If I'm in the Red Sox shoes and have so much good young pitching and need a bat, I dont even think twice about making a trade. Papi makes that big a difference.
Very true Mets, but the key will be who will they give up in a trade (if anybody). I think Daniel Bard is and should be untouchable.
Actually, the question is : Who can they get and do you, can you , wait till the trade deadline ...
If they get someone earlier, they will get a better deal.
NO your NOT getting M. Cabrera
Who says I/we want him?
Don't get me wrong, he's a great hitter, but not only would the Sox have to give up several prospects (something they've been very reluctant to do recently) they'd have another Manny-like contract on their hands (not that Cabrera's attitude is anything like Manny's).
Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather give top prospect, Lars Anderson a shot than give up the farm.
Why is that interesting?? It's an article written by a Red Sox beat writer about a Red Sox minor league player.
It might be interesting if it was a national story about up-and-coming young pitchers and Bonine was left out. But, that's obviously not the case here.
Better talk to your management then, he was whispered earlier till Dombrowski shot it down.
I posted two articles about this, or there were two out there in the thread....
The one from the Tigers perspective, talked about both pitchers having outstanding stuff today ....
Obviously the Boston perspective is only wanting to look at thier side of things.
