Wow, of all the pitchers from the Red Sox who think will throw a no-hitter.....Clay Buchholz???

 

I don't know, I don't think it should come as that much of a surprise. He was a very highly touted prospect. Is it really that uncommon to see a new pitcher come up and dominate (presumably due to the lack of scouting on him)?

I am just glad Hendry and the boys picked up Pawelek in that first round.

All things considered, it's so bizarre that Pawelek's done as badly as he has. He was highly-touted and signed at around slot, which is rare for a Boras client, let alone one in HS. It's not like Brownlie, where there was cause for concern due to injuries, since Pawelek had a clean bill of health.

 

Buchholz dropped due to character concerns. I think he was involved in some laptop stealing scandal or something along those lines.

Yeah he stole laptops from a local junior high I believe. Yeah the Pawelek thing is baffling. I would rather have Buchholz, Garza, and Bowden from that class. Just off the top of my head.

I was happy with Pawelek and I knew there was no chance Bowden was going to make it to the Cubs' second rounder, despite my hopes. The guy I really wanted in the first round was C Brandon Snyder.

Hasn't he been hurt his whole career?

Pretty much, but hindsight is 20/20, you know?

No I know, I also like Snyder. Although I liked him thinking he would stick behind the plate.
