Giants rookie John Bowker continued his torrid start since being called up Saturday. After becoming the first player in franchise history to homer in his first two major league games, he tripled Tuesday in his third game and singled Wednesday against Arizona for his first hit off SP Brandon Webb. More importantly, he was bumped up to the No. 5 spot in the order behind Bengie Molina, while the Giants shifted him over to first base as part of a double switch in the top of the ninth inning. If Bowker can pick up the new position quickly, the Giants will be able to deploy him in the middle third of the lineup without sacrificing a place for Fred Lewis, Aaron Rowand or Randy Winn in the outfield. Bowker remains an intriguing player to watch — or even pick up — depending on the size of your league. (Rotowire)
