Buchholz And Bowden On Boston Rotation

Clay Buccholz and Michael Bowden both believe their impressive starts at Triple A Pawtucket would translate into big-league success. Buccholz told Mike Giardi of NECN.com that he's ready to help Boston, but said "if not that team, I want to be in the big leagues and I do want to go somewhere where I'll be able to play and pitch every fifth day." Check out Joe Haggerty's transcript on Hacks with Haggs. Buccholz did not suggest that he wants to be traded, but he's clearly eager to return to the majors.Bowden says he "would hate to leave" the Red Sox organization in this clip on the Boston Globe's site. He says it would be worth spending extra time in the minors if it would allow him to pitch for the Red Sox in the future.
