Bowden called up
By: Alex Speier
Michael Bowden is currently on the field during batting practice, having apparently been called up to Boston from Triple-A Pawtucket for today's game. We'll be back with the corresponding roster move that has him with the Sox, but one might assume that Gil Velazquez has been sent back down with Julio Lugo ready to return to the Sox tomorrow, when they travel to Cleveland.

That correct. Hopefully Masterson can go pretty deep tonight, although Bowden is stretched out and has gone at least 4 innings in his appearances this year. Bowden's 2009 stats:

Bill, you impressed with the Blue Jays so far?
They have the most homers in the majors, have Halladay, and are playing good baseball.
You're familiar with the Blue Jays in their glory years (divisional rival, fought tooth-and-nail with the Red Sox for many years); when should we start taking them seriously?
Should we wait until May or June like we did with the Rays?

I'm not buying Toronto...........at least not yet.
Their starting rotation could have been one of the best in baseball, but it is ravaged by injuries. Marcum, McGowan, Litsch and now their very impressive rookie, Ricky Romero, are all on the DL. Roy Halladay is a S-T-U-D, but he can't do it alone. B.J. Ryan, their closer, is also on the DL now.
I'm also not super impressed by their lineup. Sure they have some good hitters in Wells, Rios, Rolen and Overbay, but that lineup is not gonna make me forget the '78 Red sox or '95 Indians.
I admit the Rays surprised me last year, but in hindsight, if you look at their roster next to the Jays it's no comparison.
I think I may have overrated the Yankees (their pitching is still in shambles despite the additions of Sabathia and Burnett), and underated the Red Sox a tad (their pitching is just too strong).
After watching the first three weeks, I now think this division will come down to the Sox and the Rays.
I agree.
I think you or me could have a better ERA than most of the Yankees (Wang's 34.50 ERA is higher than HD's age
)P.S. You'll notice I'm getting this "name in quotes" figured out.
