Michael Bowden Traded Twice In One Afternoon
The front office of the Kickin Kinslers has been pretty busy today. Already dealing away Ryan Howard in a 7 player blockbuster deal, the Kickin Kinslers just completed it’s second trade of the afternoon.
The details? Well, Newly aquired Michael Bowden who came over in the Ryan Howard trade, left just as quick as he came. New address? DrBillVille! Here is how the exactl details broke down
Michael Bowden, Christian Guzman for Alex Gordon and the 98th overall MiLB pick.
From the Kick’in Kinslers GM:
We are sad to see such a promising pitcher leave our organization. Michael Bowden was brough over in great faith when we traded Ryan Howard. However, as any GM should be, a deal came along that strenthens our overall team in the present and in the future. Alex Gordon is regarded as a high potential 3B and going into his junior season, figures to take a big leap this season. Also serving as a 1B, he will help subside the loss of Howard at that position.
I was surprised to see Bowden traded the first time. I was approached and immediately made him my target. I thought it was a good deal. Even at pick 98, tremendous talent can be had. I feel it was a good trade.
Yeah, even picks in round 7-9 have some very good talent.
Trust me, if I didn’t like Gordon so much, Bowden wouldn’t have gone anyway. Gordon just fits my team perfect for what I need.
