Yet he has already penciled him in as the number two hitter because he likes a “left handed bat in the two spot”. The real reason sox traded him is he can’t hit a lick from left side. Reason constantly out of lineup: as bob uecker would suggest, if he played every day his secret would be up.(Feel free astro fans to check any year or better yet his career stats.)

You saying the Astros’ deals aren’t all brilliant?? :-)

Seems he IS healthy, but won’t play through the pain. Which was in many cases his rep with the Red Sox.

He was out for four MONTHS with mononucleosis.

But there is always a reason why someone gets traded and the book on Lowrie is FRAGILE.

Plenty of talent but to many trips to the DL.

We had to deal with this in Boston, and ultimately the injuries were just too much. Lowrie’s got all kinds of talent but CANNOT stay healthy.
