Blue Jays Claim Shawn Bowman

By Tim Dierkes | April 14, 2010 at 1:31pm CDT

The Blue Jays claimed Canadian third baseman Shawn Bowman off waivers from the Mets, according to a team press release.  He'll head to the Jays' High A affiliate.

Bowman, 25, hit .294/.346/.458 in 379 Double A plate appearances last year.  He has above-average raw power and strong defense, according to Baseball America's '06 Handbook.

      Because he was blocked by David Wright for 4 years now. He was a huge prospect a few years back. The Mets really botched this one.

    why is he going to high A when he did very good in AA last year?

      Jordan Bastian of MLB.com tweeter earlier that they will have him start in AAA

          Bastian tweeted AAA but according to the Jays site you are right it is high A. My bad

          No problem. IMO AAA would make much more sense… Could be a mistake on the Jays site. To send him down a level makes no sense after his AA year

          Bowman already shows on the AAA roster

          12 years ago

          that makes more sense than him going back to high A

    Toronto loves the waiver wire more than any MLB team around, except for maybe Pittsburgh. Big difference though, Toronto makes solid pickups. Like the Everts move, this was a bungle by the Mets. Best of luck to Bowman, maybe he’ll get a chance to experience some success in an organization that treats him like an actual prospect.
