[edit] Scouting Report
Brother of Colorado Rockies pitcher Taylor Buchholz. Became 21st rookie in ML history to throw a no-hitter, doing so in just his second career start. Led all minor leaguers with 12 strikeouts per start. Compensation pick from the Mets for the signing of Pedro Martinez. Both curveball and change rank at 70 on the 20/80 scout scale, low 90's fastball is third best pitch. Picked up a slider in 2007 spring training which already is ML average. Previous make-up issues, including arrests for theft and breaking and entering the Sox feel were one time college pranks, there have been no other off field issues to this point. A top athlete in the system, Buchholz' time in the 60 is better than Jacoby Ellsbury's. Weaknesses are stamina, he would have been on Boston's postseason roster except he was shut down with a case of dead arm. Also doesn't throw his fastball enough, his other pitches are so good. Boston would like to see a better mix in pitch selection. Easily Boston's best pitching prospect since Roger Clemens, Buchholz is a lock for a spot in the Bosox' 2008 rotation.
