Originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1996, Bowers pitched in the Rays' farm system until the end of the 2003 season without reaching the major leagues. In 2004, he went to Japan, where he pitched for three seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball.

On December 14, 2009, he was signed by the Oakland Athletics.[1]
