"Timlin attempted to throw before yesterday's game, but when that did not go well he had an MRI and was placed on the DL. Timlin said the MRI showed `'no structural damage. Everything's very sound. The doctors are amazed that I'm actually 40 years old.'"
Red Ruffing was 39-93 for the Sox, not deserving of even an honorable mention. The Babe was almost purely a pitcher for the Red Sox (and a great one at that). He doesn't deserve consideration for an OF slot. One year part time outfielders don't deserve consideration.
ARod should be the better player, he is getting paid 3 times more than Lowell. He is also a # 3 or 4 hitter for the Yankees, when Lowell will be batting 6th, 7th or even 8th for the Sox. However, Lowell is the superior fielding third baseman.
