How does this compare with other teams, in terms of overall talent?
My sense is that Buchholz is about as good as any pitcher in minor league baseball right now. He seems to have separated himself. So at the very top the Sox have to be up with any other team in terms of just pure RHP talent. My guess is that there are a number of teams who believe they have a pitcher like Michael Bowden near the top of their prospect list, and that Bowden hasn't separated himself nearly as well as Buchholz has.

Thank You, Isn't a reflection of the system, but a weakness at the position, As a whole package Buchholz is one of the best pitching prospect if not the best. Other pitching prospects may throw harder consistently but not one has the whole package like Buchholz does.
