It finally happened, Marlins got rid off Mike Lowell..!!!

It finally occurred, Marlins got rid off this (ex-steroid addict?) sucker, and Red Sox traded him for three prospects.

Well, it doesn't matter what we Marlins fans got in exchange for Mikey, to say three prospects, three sand bags or three packs of bubble gum. Anything they give us is worth more than him.

I'm not a follower of Red Sox's finances, but I guess they have a lot of spare cash that allows them such spending blunder.

Mike Lowell comes over as a $9 million liability for the 2006 and 2007 seasons (he is guaranteed $18 million). Lowell's production significantly dropped last year, when he hit .236 with 8 home runs and 58 RBIs. The previous 3 seasons he averaged just fewer than 28 home runs, 94 RBIs, and a .282 average. Interesting how the three-time All-Star's numbers dropped dramatically after Major League Baseball's original steroid policy came into play. Bostonist can only hope that the right handed hitter can utilize the Green Monster in left to bring him back to the prominence of the 2002-2004 seasons. Time will tell.

Anyhow it's not only all bad news for them, they also got one of the best pitchers in the game, for a really bargain price.

The 25-year-old Beckett, eligible for salary arbitration, is expected to earn between $4 million and $5 million next year and can become a free agent after the 2007 season.

Good luck Bostonians, you'll need it.

PS. Captain Fishtail, posted in the Sons of Sam Horn forum they put me out of business. He's right, now I'm out of the business of posting my hate for Mike Lowell. But don't worry, I'll probably be replaced very soon for a Red Sox (or Twins?) fan.

By the way, if someone wants to take over this blog, just write me to mikelowellsucks [at] gmail [dot] com. Also, I can transfer the ownership of the domain mikelowellsucks.com for free. All you need is to demonstrate you'll continue the hatred against this sucker.

Twins Interested In Lowell?

It unbelievable there may be any team really interested in this sucker, without being imposed to a buy-one-good-f@ck-yourself-with-the-other kind of trade, like others teams are.

Word within baseball circles is that the Twins are trying to trade with the Florida Marlins for third baseman Mike Lowell.

The Twins, though, want the Marlins to pick up a good part of the $16 million that Lowell, 31, is guaranteed for the next two years. The Twins are expected to offer pitching (Kyle Lohse, J.C. Romero and/or Scott Baker) and could make a deal by the second week in December.
