John Bowker is going to Japan
The Phillies released John Bowker this week to let him pursue a contract in Japan. This is not a huge deal at all. I always thought that based on his minor league numbers, Bowker deserved more of a chance with the Pirates, but it was clear both in Pittsburgh and San Francisco before that there was something about Bowker that his front offices and managers didn't think would translate...

SF Giants Rumors: Ex Giant Released To Play In Japan

Philadelphia Phillies Release Veteran Left-Handed Hitter John Bowker
Nearly as soon as it began, the John Bowker Era in Philadelphia is over. The club has announced they have parted ways with Bowker, allowing the 28-year old the opportunity to pursue a baseball career in Japan.
Bowker went 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts for the Phillies in 2011. He had gone 4-for-17 with the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier in the season, putting him at a solid .133 for...

John Bowker, How We Barely Knew Ye
The Phillies final splash (albeit a tiny ripple) of last season’s trade market is no longer with the team.
Left-handed hitting outfielder John Bowker was released by the Phillies Tuesday so he can pursue playing in Japan, the team said.
The move is reminiscent of when the Phils let pitcher Scott Mathieson go the same route earlier this offseason.
But let’s talk about...

Phillies Release John Bowker So He Can Play In Japan
This is not the first time the Phillies have released a player so that he can pursue an opportunity to play somewhere else.
Think back to November when Scott Mathieson was released.
The Phillies picked up Bowker in late August, but he didn't prove to be much of a help. The 28 year-old outfielder went 0-13 in 13 at bats, striking out 7 times in 12 games for the Phillies.

Bowker Gives Us Clues to Phillies Future
PHOTO APIf Ryan Howard is a mountain of a man, then John Bowker is most comparable to a tree. Solid and sturdy at 6’1, 205 lbs., Bowker has put up solid average and power stats in the minors but hasn’t been able to replicate those stats in the Majors. For centuries, trees have been in the middle of the quantum quandary asked by philosophers: If a tree falls in the forest...
