Red Sox Nation -Check In

Sorry, Gary, but I have to disagree with your disagreement. Firstly, I granted your point about him handling himself well, and meant in good part by that the way he has handled his reduced role by not b!tching and becoming a distraction. If I did not spell that out, I apologize, to him and you, but I did imply it. As for the rest, his range has become slightly better than a statue, and his speed is glacial, and you might argue that in tone but not in kind. And his hitting? As of today, he has 12 RBI, 11 BB, 10K, and is batting .215. One can forgive the RBIs, etc., as a factor of his limited appearances, but if he was hitting better than 2 bucks he might get more action.

Hey, I like the guy. But he's toast. Eat the contract, and let some kids earn a slot.

No real disagreement on Lowell's diminishing skills...I just will be sorry to see a good guy move on... even though it is clearly time for him to do so. Hey, I hated to see Trot Nixon move on too, but that didn't mean it did not have to happen.
