Lowrie, showing he belongs as starter
March 16, 2009

Jed Lowrie finished 3-for-4 with a solo homer and drove in two runs, as Boston clipped Toronto, 6-4, in Grapefruit League play. There are a lot of guys who feel Lowrie is not really that good. He does not steal bases and he has no pop. I do not agree. I would think that if he was able to start through the season he could at least hit 10 HR's and own 80 runs with maybe 70 RBI. Does anyone think he will do better than that? I am expecting everyone here to say "YES". LOL

He hit a HR today which is of course encouraging. So just wondering how psyched everyone is that Lowrie will be our starter as SS and possibly for the entire season. Cause I think our stock just went up.

DRAFTAHOLIC!!!

Here is something else to encourage: Last year "With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, Lowrie drove him in 20 times out of 29 tries (69%), the 2nd highest percentage on the Red Sox last season (Youkilis, 27 for 36, 75%). The highest percentage in the majors last season (min. 25 tries) was by Albert Pujols (27 for 34, 79%)."

I think Lowrie will become a fan favorite and perhaps a really special ballplayer, but the Sox would be a better team with Lugo at short and Lowrie playing short, 2nd and 3rd. He will be a better shortstop than Lugo, but the utility infielder position is diminished.

because Lowrie does not steal or because his defensive side still needs help or both? Thanks for the comment.
