Leading off today's Monday Morning Ten Pack:
Michael Bowden, RHP, High-A Lancaster (Red Sox)
Bowden fired seven innings of one-hit shutout baseball Friday nigth at San Jose, lowering his ERA on the season to 1.37 in eight games. He's third in the California League in ERA and second in strikeouts, with 46 in 46 innings, allowing 35 hits and walking just eight. He's actually pitched even better than that. No pitcher on a talented Lancaster staff is handling the nightmare of pitching in Lancaster as well as Bowden has, and in a park that sees an average of 15.5 runs per game, Bowden has a 2.30 ERA in five home starts. In three road starts, he's fired 18.2 shutout innings. His stock is already high, and so far it's still rising.
I imagine he will become a Cyclone before long, and dat will be da end of dat.
