General manager Brian Sabean said that John Bowker is not a candidate to play right field.
Depending on Freddy Sanchez's progress, this could kill Bowker's chance at regular playing time this season. Mark DeRosa figures to be the everyday left fielder, so once the projected lineup is in place, regular at-bats are going to be hard time come by. Bowker, 26, batted .194 with two home runs and seven RBI in 67 at-bats with the Giants last season, but torched Triple-A Fresno, batting .342 with 21 home runs and 83 RBI.
