Could someone more familiar with advanced statistics verify the claims made in this article?

Is there some reason Rotoworld is giving us updates on Andrew Bynum instead of John Bowker's chances of making the team?

Spring Training FAQ

Apologies in advance if this has been covered already. I am trying to book a spring training trip for my family. I was wondering if you guys had any insight into the best time to go. Also, we were hoping to stay in the same hotel that the Giants stay in...does anyone know what that might be? Any other tips and tricks that might help us have an awesome experience would be greatly appreciated as well!

Not great analysis, really, but two of our guys are mentioned extensively.

Bowker

I don't want to be a pessimist, but here's Bowker's line over the last month:

BA: .176

R: 4

RBI: 3

HR: 0

His OBP is currently .298, with a .403 SLG% and .707 OPS.

I want the kids to play as bad as anyone else, so can someone please give me a legitimate reason that he should continue to log significant innings at 1st base or RF this season? I know we don't have any other great prospects behind him, but it seems like they could throw Ishikawa a bone for the season he's having, or bring up Sandoval sooner than later (maybe not a great idea). I've had this conversation with people, and they always say "he'll figure it out". I would whole-heartedly agree if he were a blue chip prospect like Longoria or Alex Gordon. Hell, if he was Kevin Kouzmanoff! But I'm not sure his minor league track record suggests he'll turn it around. Thoughts?
