With all the excitement this season about Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester and Justin Masterson, it’s easy to forget that Michael Bowden is also an elite pitching prospect.

Boston traded reliever Bryan Corey to the San Diego Padres yesterday for either cash or a PTBNL. I think it’s a good move for Corey, who stands to get more playing time for the Pads; I think it also shows the front office’s growing confidence in young arms like Craig Hansen and Justin Masterson, who [...]

Michael Bowden (2-3) threw 6 2/3 innings of one-hit ball last night, as the Sea Dogs shut out New Hampshire, 10-0. The 21-year old Bowden was impressive, allowing just one hit and one walk. He has now allowed just one earned run over his last 18 2/3 IP, lowering his ERA to 2.68 for the [...]

With the month of April half over, it’s time to take a look at how things are shaping up in our farm system for 2008. I know these samples sizes are ridiculously meaningless, but it’s still fun to dream, right?

One young pitcher who is moving up the charts is 24-year old lefty Dustin Richardson [Sox Prospects profile]. Just two years after being drafted out of Texas Tech in the 5th round, Richardson is already flashing some tantalizing potential at Double-A Portland this season. In his first start of 2008, he struck out the first [...]

It appears that Bartolo Colon has gotten himself back into game shape sooner than expected; he threw five strong innings at Pawtucket, tossing 45 of 74 pitches for strikes and touching 95 mph on the radar gun.

Just wanted to update you guys on who was called up yesterday, the first day for expanded rosters.
Infielders: Royce Clayton, reactivated Doug Mirabelli
Clayton is a solid veteran who bats right-handed. He will spell Lugo and Pedroia in the middle of the infield.
Outfielders: Jacoby Ellsbury, Brandon Moss
With both Manny and Kielty ailing, both of these guys [...]

Who can we expect to see come up after September 1 to join the club as the rosters expand to 40 men? Scanning the 40-man roster, I see some very obvious choices. Starting with the most likely callups:
Jon Lester, SP. This is not a surprise, really, as Theo has pretty much announced that Lester will [...]

The extra day from the rainout might help the Sox, who are ailing a bit of late. Dustin Pedroia (elbow) is still day-to-day, and Doug Mirabelli (calf) is working his way back on Sept 2. In order to accommodate some depth concerns, they’ve made a few minor moves:
Pitcher Jon Lester was sent down to AA [...]

The PTBNL from the Wily Mo Pena trade has been named, and he’s not from Washington. Apparently what we have is a three-team deal with Arizona. First base prospect Chris Carter is now a member of the Red Sox farm system. The 24-year old Carter is a mid-size first baseman with a good swing, [...]
