| Bowen gets released by A's: The Athletics released catcher Rob Bowen on Tuesday, likely opening the door for former first-round pick Landon Powell to back up Kurt Suzuki. "We've got some internal options we feel good about, and it's also early enough in the spring for Rob to find a better opportunity," A's GM Billy Beane said. Bowen, 28, hit .176 with 37 games with the A's in 2008. This spring he was hitting .200 in six games. He heard reports last week he had been placed on waivers, so he was not surprised to get the news he had been released. "You always prepare for anything in this game," he said. "This isn't the first time I've switched teams and it probably won't be the last." Powell, who will turn 27 on Thursday, was the A's top pick in the 2004 draft. His career has been slowed by knee problems, but he has been healthy this spring. He hit .230 with 15 homers in 88 games at Triple-A Sacramento last year. (Updated 03/17/2009) |
