The Pirates will take him. Oh wait.

I don’t fully know the waiver rules but couldn’t the Pirates technically claim Bowker back, place Paul on waivers, and once they claim Bowker, place Paul back on waivers again, and keep continuing the process leaving both players in limbo (or until Selig intervenes)? Just like the Lamb Chop song…”The Song that Never Ends.”

John Bowker the tease that is John Bowker has been DFA’d. He created so much optimism in Spring Training last year, then he fell flat on his face again. I lost count how many times I got excited about him coming up only to disappoint again and again. Unfortunately Todd Linden now has company in the “sluggers who never panned out” club, Bowker just never figured out major league pitching. I think he ends up with the Mariners.

someone will claim him, he needs a opportunity to play a little bit, letting him DH in the AL once in awhile will help i think

Tampa Bay? Oh wait…

Does anyone think a team will claim him? I don’t really see him as a fit on any team he might just slip right on through waivers….

If Jeff Clement can easily go by, why not Bowker?

I really like Clint Hurdle.. but he is starting to scare me….Pearce is horrible…Cedeno dawgs it…and Doumit…his defense is bad….and Lyle Overbay looks old all the sudden….like a grandfather who gets to play ball with his grandsons at the family picnic…it looks like the streak continues on in 2011:(

Pirate fans just be glad your bum has been cut
