They talk about Mike Lowell being a free agent so there might be room at third on the Red Sox. I'm a Sox fan and I don't like talking about getting rid of Mike Lowell but we've had terrible problems at shortstop since Garciapara left. Why not move A-Rod back to short, addressing a real concern of ours. Also, as a Sox fan, I can now say that it's official that I don't hate A-Rod because he didn't really become a Yankee. Being able to say that plus the fact that we're going to wrap this up tonight make me able to say that it's a great day. I didn't want to hate A-Rod. As far as marketability (ha he actually needs no more of that), he'd be looked at as more valuable as an ss considering how bad SS's numbers have been down the past few years. It just seems odd to me that as much espn and baseball that I watch, i've not heard anyone mention that as even an idea. He's still an amazing athlete and I'm sure still a good SS. Let me know what you think.

I think the Red Sox should do everything they can to re-sign Mike Lowell and avoid A-Rod, as he may disrupt the chemistry of a very good team.

Dollar for dollar, Lowell is far more productive than A-Rod, so I agree that the Sox should do what they can to retain him.
As for moving to SS, they would have to deal Lugo and I'm not holding my breath for a team to pick him up at 8mil a year. Lugo could be benched, but what sense does it make to bench a player with an 8mil price tag?
