John Bowker went yard today with a 3 run shot. I have such high hopes for that kid.

For some reason, people don't want to give this kid a chance, but anyone with that kind of power and quick/compact stroke should be given a chance to develop. It may take him another year or two to really figure things out, but once he does, he's going to consistently put up 25-35 HRs per year.

Where? In AAA? Haha...jk.
I like this guy too. I think he should get a bigger shot at 1b.

Depending on when Villalona comes up, I hope he doesnt win at 1B. If Villalona is up in the next two years I hope Bowker stays in the OF, he actually has got decent range out there too.

I like Bowker, but if he becomes really good, then what that does is give the Giants options.
I know Angel is immensely gifted, but I'm not putting all my 1b baskets into 1 person just yet. Theres too many factors involved to have him penciled in as the guy who starts in 2011.

I think people have an issue with his plate discipline. He can't seem to put together enough solid AB's without swinging for the fence most of the time. He has an impatience about him when he's up to bat, which I think he'll grow out of.
With that said, I agree that consistency comes with more AB's and I think he deserves a chance to develop. He could turn into something special if he can string a few good games together.

Bowker should be able to contribute but it doesn't look like he will be a starter. Ishy seems to have the edge at 1b and Bowker would probably be the 5th OF. The Giants do need power so lets hope he does get better plate discipline and cut his strikeouts down this year.

Hopefully he can jump up to 4th and backup at 1st base so he can get as many at bats as possible.
