Lowell Too Pricey ?
Posted September 06, 2007 on
Dunesquatch's Blog:
The Boston Globe ran an article saying Mike Lowell is too costly for them to re-sign. Absolutely Absurd. To pay a worthless bucket o' crap like JD Drew a huge amount for no production and only average fielding, then to say Lowell is too costly. He leads the team in average,rbi's and is still stellar defensively despite having an off year. If you move Youlk back to third after sucha n awesome performance at first this year, he will likely see a drop in production, and an increase in errors. If the Sox don't get Lowell locked up they are making a big mistake. And speaking of Drew- get rid of him, even if you have to eat some of his annual salary. Ellsbury is great, and think of how deadly all that speed would be w/ Coco, Lugo (whom I feel deserves a second year to iron out his transition) and Jacoby.

Lowell's got one more chance to cash in on the free agent market. After the successful season that he's had, he's going to demand a pretty penny over a number of years. He may be worthy it in 2008, but that may be it. Although still productive now, how much money do the Sox want to sink into an aging veteran? It's a tough call.

I hear ya, but he's probably good for 3 more years-- maybe not. Do we have any real good prospects in the farm system? I think we could depend on Lowell for onfield production as well as his clubhouse presence. I fear the front office wants to make a play for A-Rod, and that guy, though very talented, would not be good in the chemistry dept. Which is HUGE. You're right though- it's a tough call.
