Bowker pulled from Fresno game, likely coming to San Francisco
A writer from the Fresno Bee just called to say John Bowker has been pulled from tonight's game in Fresno after hitting a first-inning double, and it's my understanding the Giants are going to promote him for tomorrow night's game against San Diego.
Bowker, who hit 10 home runs in 328 at-bats for the Giants last year, is destroying Triple-A pitching this year. Said to be more selective at the plate than he was as he slumped badly last year, Bowker is batting .345 with 17 homers, 63 RBIs and a ridiculous 1.055 OPS.
My guess is the Giants will option Ryan Sadowski to Fresno to clear a roster spot. Sadowski has done an excellent job in three starts, but the Giants will not need a fifth starter again until July 20 in Atlanta, and they can always recall him then.
