Adam Loewen hit his first spring homer Thursday in the loss to the Marlins. Loewen's homer off Chad Gaudin was wind-aided, but he actually had another blast that was held up by the wind and would have been a second homer otherwise. He's 3-for-8 this spring, and there's a pretty good chance he'll make the Mets if Scott Hairston lands on the disabled list.

Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com writes that both Adam Loewen and Vinny Rottino could make the Opening Day roster if Scott Hairston (oblique) begins the season on the disabled list. Loewen would function as a left-handed bat off the bench and backup center fielder while Rottino would replace Hairston as a righty bench bat. The Mets would prefer prospect outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis to play every day, so he's likely headed to the minors with the Mets' starting outfield already locked in. It's also possible that the Mets could see which players are cut from other teams as spring training moves along.

Mets signed OF Adam Loewen to a minor league contract. Lowen, a converted pitcher, hit 17 homers alongside a .306/.377/.508 batting line this year at Triple-A Las Vegas. But he struggled in 32 at-bats in the majors after gaining a September promotion and is unlikely to have an impact for the Metropolitans in 2012.

Blue Jays sent OF Adam Loewen outright to Triple-A Las Vegas. The move clears him from the 40-man roster. Loewen, a converted pitcher, batted .188 with one homer and 13 strikeouts over 32 at-bats with the Blue Jays as a September call-up.

Adam Loewen drew the second of back-to-back bases loaded walks in the top of the ninth as the Blue Jays beat the White Sox 3-2 on Wednesday. Now there's a way to end the season. Mark Teahen had the first walk off Chris Sale, tying the game. Sale remained in afterwards and issued the walk to Loewen, giving him the loss as well as the blown save. It was Loewen's lone plate appearance of the game. He went 6-for-32 with a homer and a 13/3 K/BB ratio in his September audition. The Jays will have a decision to make on whether to keep him on the 40-man roster this winter. The fact that he's out of options next spring will work against him.

Getting the start in center, Adam Loewen went 2-for-4 with two RBI against the Red Sox on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he also made two bad outs on the basepaths, once getting picked off and another when he was too aggressive trying to take third. He also committed an error in center. What he did with the bat today, he largely gave right back.

Adam Loewen belted his first career homer and also added a single in Sunday's win over the Orioles. Loewen surrendered 14 homers in his career as a pitcher and now has added his first one as a position player, even putting a cherry on top by doing it against his former team. It's a good story, but he's not going to be a fantasy option.
