His ceiling in Boston would be as a 4th outfielder. If you can get a solid reliever for him (wouldn't happen, but maybe you get someone on a day when they drank too much cough syrup) you do it without thinking twice.
I'd be only interested if it was the 08 Iannetta. He can play a little 3b too, but I just don't think he's worth giving up much for.
However, Lowrie is nothing more than a 25th man on a roster.
I actually had a dream last night that Lackey was pitching with a 5 run lead. He ended up giving up 6 home runs in an inning (3 of which to people who had never hit one in the majors before).
Apparently I'm already prepared for the worst. I think he'll be ok though.
His best season was 4 years ago. He's 30, with limited upside. Of all the people we could hope for, he's not really up there. He's a stop-gap more than anything else.
And he's averaging a .263 obp and 26 gdp's per season in the AL! WTF??? (j/k)
