Despite its failure to make national headlines, the Lowrie addition and how Jed performs this year could...
2013 Fantasy Sleeper: Jed Lowrie | 3B/SS | OAK
The former first round pick of the Red Sox has struggled to stay healthy in his five years as a pro, but what he hasn’t struggled to do is hit—typically in bunches. The shortstop position is undeniably thin and especially in the power department. How many SS hit more than 20 HR last year? If [...]
