In summary, this guy, while making very good points about the further troubles the Yankees face when this season draws to a close, also makes point that the Sox should re-new Lowell's contract at 07's end, filling the void A-Rod might fill if he opted out of his contract. I, personally would love to have A-Rod hitting behind Manny if it ever became an option, and though Lowell has been great so far this year, I am still behind Theo if he dangles him mid-season to another team. But who would you guys rather have? The future all-time leader in home runs? Or a getting-up-there-in-age guy in Lowell. By taking A-Rod, and watching the Yanks take the possible hits next off-season, we would be the new Yankees, no doubt about it, and the new Evil Empire, whereas if we took Lowell, we would be passing on 275 HRs and perhaps the greatest 3-4-5 of all-time.
