Newsbreakers
September 28, 2009
Michael Bowden was roughed up for seven earned runs on seven hits over a mere three innings in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Jays at Fenway Park. He had one walk with three strikeouts, and gave up two homers. The game was called after seven innings due to rain.
Our View:
Bowden gravely struggled while making a spot start in place of the ailing Josh Beckett (back spasms). He has a future in the bigs, but is clearly not ready to make an impact.
September 28, 2009
Michael Bowden is slated to start tonight's home game against Toronto, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
Josh Beckett was a late scratch due to back spasms. Bowden will be making his first start of 2009, and carries a 7.84 ERA over 10.1 innings.
September 5, 2009
Michael Bowden has been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Our View:
He will serve in long-relief, and doesn't figure to make too many appearances. He has allowed seven earned runs in just four major league innings this season.
August 22, 2009
One day after getting called up, Michael Bowden has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Our View:
Bowden managed to fit a disastrous outing during his one day call-up, allowing seven earned runs in two innings against the Yankees on Friday. He'll likely be back in September when rosters expand.
August 21, 2009
The Boston Globe is reporting that the Red Sox have recalled pitcher Michael Bowden from Triple-A Pawtucket. Fernando Cabrera was demoted in a corresponding move.
Our View:
Bowden will join the bullpen, and he should be a nice addition. He has been very good in Triple-A this season, compiling a 3.20 ERA in 22 starts and has held opponents to a .222 average. He won't have any fantasy value until he joins the rotation, which may be a few years away.
May 6, 2009
Minor leaguer Michael Bowden tossed a no-hitter for six innings before eventually settling for 6.2 innings of one hit ball, according to the Providence Journal. In the outing, Bowden walked four, struck out only two, and allowed a single unearned run.
Our View:
The Sox certainly have a lot of quality major league ready arms in the minors led by the likes of Bowden and Clay Buchholz, so if Brad Penny and John Smoltz fail to pan out, the organization certainly isn't devoid of options for the starting rotation.
April 27, 2009
Michael Bowden will be sent back to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room for Julio Lugo on Boston's roster, according to the Providence Journal. Lugo (knee surgery) has been activated from the DL.
Our View:
Bowden is a top pitching prospect, but would not have held much fantasy value right now as a reliever if the Sox kept him on the roster.
April 27, 2009
Michael Bowden has been recalled by the Red Sox from Triple-A Pawtucket, according to the Associated Press. The club optioned infielder Gil Velazquez to Pawtucket as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Bowden is a top pitching prospect for the Sox and held a strong 0.64 ERA over 14 innings at Pawtucket, but his fantasy value will be initially limited while serving in the bullpen.
March 23, 2009
Michael Bowden has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket by the Red Sox, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Bowden is a top pitching prospect, but the club does not have a spot for him in their crowded rotation. He could serve as a spot-starter during the season, depending on injuries.
February 16, 2009
Michael Bowden is stronger and added some bulk in the off-season, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
The team is pleased with his added strength, but his fantasy value remains limited as a likely spot-starter this season.
