... The Bottom Line has a good recap of the main pitching prospects being mentioned as involved: Buchholz, Bowden and Daniel Bard, and includes the CHONE and Marcel projections where available - CHONE prefers Buchholz, while Marcel likes Bowden better.

The Bottom Line —
There's been a lot of discussion regarding the catching situation here with the Red Sox. Before we continue with that discussion, let me thank everyone that chimed in on the "What's a Catcher Worth?" post last week... great stuff from everyone.
