Bowa Barrier
From Wiki Gonzalez
The Bowa Barrier is named for former player, Phillies manager, and current BTF regular Larry Bowa. It was first proposed in this thread as an OBP-based alternative to the Mendoza Line. For a player to break the Bowa Barrier, he must receive a significant amount of playing time, yet maintain an OBP at or below .300. Bonus points are awarded if the player has a decent batting average to cover up this flaw. It is named for Larry Bowa because of his career line of .260/.300/.320. It is generally agreed that .300 is about the lowest OBP a player can have and still be a useful contributor.
Current players at or near the Bowa Barrier include:
