and historically he has been horrible against lefties. I am just trying to get in the giants management's heads.

I think the reasons I laid out are exactly reasons why they have not brought him up yet. If Bowker was right handed and could mash lefties he would already be up because figuring out how and where to play him would be easy.

Personally... I see all these outfielders as commodoties (Bowker, Lewis, Schierholtz, and Winn, but I doubt he is worth much, or likely to be traded)... I would gladly trade any of them for a better bat.

        They are not going to play Bowker at first. Sabean said as much. - starburst 2009-07-02 12:53:50 (39 views)

    - I think a scout watching Lewis would give him a 50-55 power rating - g-drive 2009-07-02 11:34:09 (53 views)
- Does Lewis have any options left? If not that's a pretty good reason why he hasn't been sent down - Calvin and Hobbs 2009-07-02 08:05:58 (73 views)
  - You're assuming that Bowker is limited to right field - glass half empty 2009-07-02 10:38:28 (65 views)
    - no, I think he was assuming that Bochy would not take ABs from Winn or Rowand - g-drive 2009-07-02 11:41:10 (34 views)
      - I don't see how Bowker would take ABs from Rowand. - glass half empty 2009-07-02 11:59:19 (35 views)
        
        he said you have to sit Nate, you said you are assuming he would have to play RF, I said... - g-drive 2009-07-02 12:07:09 (57 views)
- I think Bowker needs to be given a legit chance on the big league roster - The Lucky Cap 2009-07-01 22:02:44 (105 views)
