    Or the market is there, but they're waiting for a return that seems convenient given the fact that both middle infielders are healthy, and Hall's doing an acceptable job of playing all around the field.

    BTW, I am not "making a fuss" about the logjam. I am just noting that one exists. Lowell has no role. It would be optimal if VMart could catch 4 or 5 times a week and DH or play first the other games. That's not making a fuss. In some ways it can be a positive, because you have some good protection if there is an injury to Youk, Ortiz or Beltre, but it is a challenge to the manager and it makes for some inflexibility in other ways. If Scutaro gets a bump or bruise, I really don't want to see Hall at SS for a week. Do you?
    You've been whining about the infamous logjam all year long, and this is a completely different stance from your initial statement, which referred to Beltre being an ill-advised signing, well Beltre's helping carry the club both offensively and defensively, and there hasn't been an actual issue that would create the need for Lowell to be dropped from the roster. The team is functioning correctly, and if Scutaro gets a bump or bruise as you said, and the situation calls for it, then they can grant Lowell his release. For there to be a logjam, there has to be an impasse with no firsthand solution to the issue, this is a complete turnaround from your earlier take on the "logjam" issue, which was a criticism of the FO for the Beltre signing, and now that his performance has caught up to the press clippings, you need another take on the issue to continue complaining. <_<
    WAR is good for something.
