It's going to cost them to deal Lugo, IMO. Not cost the quality of the team, mind you, but money. If they are sending money out with the SS, and then paying money to an arbitration salary level player in Khalil Greene, then the calculus of the SS position becomes quite costly. I don't see them doing that when it looks like the more than adequate replacement is sitting in AAA and ready for this level.

Greene made $2.25M last year per BB-Ref. Lowrie makes the minimum. And, I'd bet dollars to donuts he would put up a higher WARP1 than Greene this year.

EDIT: JHB posted while I was typing. I concur, there's no need for a SS in return.
