love the fact that Lowe is a groundball pitcher. with our infield (Howard sometime excluded), that could be a big pick up.

still would love to see grandpa moyer return.

anybody have a screenshot of Mike’s parting blog that was taken down. would love to read it

I know alot of people are a fan of Juan Rivera. But I am not so much, I would rather have Pat back any day and I feel like were not really trying. Now for lowe, I am excited for, I hope we can get him to add him to our already dominant pitching rotation.

If there’s a free agent pitcher out there that can survive CP, it’s Lowe. I watched him when he was in Boston a few times in person, he is as consistent as they come.

Lowe and Rivera would, in my opinion, be the ideal free agent haul for the Phils at this point.

A Lowe signing might rule out the return of Jamie Moyer, and as sad as that’d be, it would certainly be an upgrade. And Rivera is my Option #1 at this point to replace Burrell: he can probably be had on a 2-year deal for about $7-8 million (in other words, way less than Geoff Jenkins signed for), and he’s got a higher upside than any other righthanded OF the Phils could sign for a comparable price. Yes, that includes Baldelli.

“The Sporting News Today figures the Phillies will land Derek Lowe.”

I refuse to let my guard down and get excited. I’ll believe it when I see it…and I’m a little excited.

Nice, it even says that the Phillies made an offer to Derek Lowe. Yeah its expensive and itll cost a first round pick, but I really feel that the depth and stability is worth it…
