The Book on Michael Bowden
Prospect Info
Michael Bowden
Born 9/9/1986
RHP, BOS
Bowden's statistics, impressive as they are for a teen-ager in A-ball, fall short of reflecting how dominant the right-hander was last season. Expecting endurance for players of Bowden's maturity is asking a lot, so it's hard to blame Bowden for three bad starts that dilute his overall statistics. If not for poor starts on April 15, July 9 and Aug. 26, Bowden's season ERA drops to 2.71. Bowden also allowed 22 hits, five walks and three home runs in these starts, so you can imagine his dominance during the other 88 percent of his season.
Player Updates and Notes
Michael Bowden, probably the Red Sox best pitching prospect now that Justin Masterson seems settled into the bullpen, will be called up to start Saturday's game at home against the White Sox.

The Atlanta Braves have been scouting Michael Bowden, perhaps as a possible piece to complement a Mark Teixeira trade.
