I'm sorry. The SoxTalk auto-size compression made Lowell look really goofy so I edited it and compressed with MS Office Picture Manager...... :D

 

Glad you like it. ;)

Question time: Is Damaso Marte better, worse, or the same as Eddie Guardado?

Does it matter, he isnt on the block according to the Mariners.

 

The real question is....Is AJB better than BMAC and Marte?

Is JC in the pen better than Marte?

Is Lowell a better 3B and 1B backup than Gload and Ozuna?

Yes

Yes

Of course, Ozuna is an awful 3B.

AJB can probably contribute more to this team for 2005 than BMAC and Marte. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

 

I thought JC did poorly in his playoff starts out of the pen?

 

I think Ozuna and Gload are fine back-ups (although Lowell's 3B defense HAS to be better than Ozuna's) and Lowell has struggled offensively all season.

Lowell always had been a dead-pull hitter, but he made a concerted effort last year to hit more balls to right-center, where he has enough power to take pitchers out of the park. He showed better pitch selection and built his walk total to a career best. He still likes the ball middle-in and thigh high, and will yank inside mistakes over the relatively short porch in left at Pro Player Stadium. He's a marked flyball hitter who can have trouble with high fastballs and breaking balls away, although in general he did a better job of tracking breaking stuff. He crushes lefties and holds his own against righthanders. Lowell has been one of the club's most reliable clutch hitters, but last year only nine of his 27 homers came with men on base.

Lowell has struggled, but is hitting .294 w/ a .809 OPS in 68 July ABs. He's coming around.

Baserunning & Defense

 

Lowell regularly makes jokes about his lack of running speed, but he is a smart baserunner who usually scores when expected. His defense keeps getting better. Last year, Lowell cut his errors to just seven, a career low for a full season. He makes all the routine plays, has a solid and accurate arm and makes the barehand charge as well as anybody.

Put him at 1st. As long as he is faster than PK and doesnt pop up every AB.
