Just wanted to say that Singer has disallowed me from posting new topics ever since my Freddy Guzman thread. He seemed very upset about my opinions and was almost hostile in his responses. He must have been upset about something else, I don't know, it was strange. Anyway, apparently he has deemed me unworthy of starting new discussions. Do I mind? I do mind, the Dude minds.

This is the kind of news you expect to be announced in conjunction with bad news, or at least indeterminate news, on the Lowrie injury front. And I agree with you, TGG, it would not be appropriate for Lowrie to play SS in the nude. Better that AGon should be out there.

If it is indeed just a cash deal, and I would think it certainly is, it makes sense. It does sort of smell like the 9th shoe is gonna drop with Lowrie though, which sucks.

He is one of the more mature players and likeable guys in the Red Sox system, which like all minor league systems, is filled with players who are clawing against each other on the way up the food chain. With talents like Navarro, etc., ahead of him, he wasn't going to get his opportunity in Boston.

He's shown good range at both SS and 2B. Tejeda is still too raw. It would be good to see Gentile get some more starts at 2B for the Drive.
