Bowden to Portland
Michael Bowden has been promoted to double-A Portland, per a source with the JetHawks booster club.
Bowden had a 46/8 K/BB ratio in 46 IP for Lancaster. His miniscule 1.37 was an anomaly, since he played half his games in the worst offensive environment on the continent.
Bowden will be paired with Clay Buchholz, forming one of the most imposing prospect combos on any one team in the minors, and perhaps the best in the Sox organization since Jon Papelbon and Michael Bowden were paired with each other in Portland.

RE
I can't recall the story without looking but the Yanks paid him the equivalent of a high round draft pick and he appears to be breaking out this year.

Looking At it Some More
They have similar lines except that Hughes has been better at not allowing homeruns and has a slightly lower walk rate.
Anyways, after comparing him to Hughes I think this has to be the right decision. If he dominates the EL, he may move himself up into the top 4 or 5 pitching prospects in the minors...
