Mike Lowell has spent the last 2 days in Florida with friends and family. After visiting his elementary school yesterday he headed north to Disney World for a parade today. He is not stressed about next year and Red Sox Nation should not be either. His agents got a 4 year deal for Posada and they think the same could happen with Lowell. The Yankees now have A-Rod for 10 years at third and have Jason Giambi and Andy Phillips at first base. If Giambi is the DH that would make Matsui and Damon have to split time in left meaning one of their best bats would have to ride pine. Cashman has also said they may play Shelley Duncan at first. The deal just does not make sense for them. The Yankees are not going to sign Lowell but they are not going to deny reports if it cost the Red Sox more money or causes them to sign someone for longer than they want. Even New York Papers don’t believe Mike is still on the radar. Lowell is sitting back and enjoying the off season so I guess we should follow his lead and not worry. He will be at the hot corner when the Sox play the A’s in Tokyo. Have another beer and enjoy the weekend. We are world champs and the core of the team will be intact.
