bowker sucks in the field. i'd rather have a guy that can put away outs and play good de. its what our team needs if we cant put runs up.
i think its bowkermania for pitchers when they know how to K him silly
sorry to burst your bowker bubbles guys, he might be a career minor leaguer.... we'll see but unless our season is tanked hes a defensive liability.

How is Bowker a defensive liability? His natural position is the LF, he's not like Lewis or Velez.
...
He needed time to adjust (hadn't seen MLB pitching in almost a year), 32 AB's is not enough time to make a judgement about a players future. He put up decent numbers in his time here last season (practically identical to Teahen's, except in 200 AB's less). In addition to that he was getting extraordinarily unlucky during his latest call-up given that his BABIP was .190 (average is around .330).

he didnt look natural in the outfield. he was slow and had bad instincts. is that zone rating for all the positions he played? is it majors only?
maybe i didnt see the best of his de, have you?
and you say the time to adjust like AAA is high school or something. no 32 ab's is def not enough and but had 326 last year... i'm not on a bowker cloud. i'm a realist.
regardless of bowker, teahen would not hurt the club.

A more potent lineup with all the injuries would look better like this
1b Ishikawa watatataawaaa
2B Sanchez
3B Pablo
SS Uribe
Lf Garko
CF Velez
RF Winn
C Bengie Molasses
So it would go
Winn
Sanchez, Man but VELEZ is hot right now, so we'll see
Pablo
Molina since Bochy will never move him
Garko
Ishikawa
Velez
Uribe
