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.

            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

                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.
