Good points, and I like Lowe. But yeah, he's no more than a good #3 in the AL East. Basically, if you're in the NL West and don't dominate - which the guy doesn't do on a regular basis - you're not going to be that good in the AL East. And he's getting old.
I agree with Gom on this one. Plus, like I said, I like the guy so seeing him in NY would suck.
