15 I don't believe this is true. Red Sox don't want Lowe and they never have. They tried to trade him the second these new owners came to town. They don't want him now. There is no way Theo is giving D-Lowe a 5 year deal. It just isn't happening. 3422759

13 You want to give a 36 year old pitcher a 4 year deal? The same pitcher whom during his last two seasons in the AL posted ERA's of 4.40 and 5.40? This is the same pitcher who the Red Sox couldn't wait to rid themselves of? Let us not forget his agent is Scott Boras and he wants at least 16 million per season. PASS! 3418101

12 you take lowe for 4 years option for 5, he isn't a superstar but the sox dont need a superstar. Lowe is a dependable inning eater who is sure to shore up the starting rotation. Beckett, Dice-K, Lester, Lowe, Wake/Buchholz if he can get it together, Masterson needs another year in pen and we can use the extra money for a bat to protect papi and bay. STAY away from burnett, let the yanks have him and we can laugh later when its pavano all over again 3418051

<p> </p> <div><span> There's been a lot of newspaper space (and some Web space, as well) dedicated to a potential battle between the archrival Red Sox and Yankees for free agent pitcher <strong>A.J. Burnett</strong>. But it appears much more likely that the real skirmish between these two hated rivals will be over another free-agent pitcher, <strong>Derek Lowe</strong>, who is cited by many baseball executives for becoming even more focused in his years out in Los Angeles.</span></div> <div><br /></div> <div><span>While Burnett has some knocks against him (i.e. his best year always seems to come in his walk year), Lowe is coveted for being consistent, durable and clutch. Like Burnett, Lowe may want at least a five-year deal, and at 35, that's certainly no certainty. But he is drawing interest from a long list of teams, including the Mets, Braves, Phillies, Giants, Mariners and Dodgers. Lowe is believed to prefer a move back East, where he appreciated the extra intensity when he played for the Red Sox from 1997-2004.<br /></span></div> <div><br /></div> <div><span>Some of that intensity may be directed in a fight over him.</span></div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY
