What position does he play? Firstbase? He sounds good, it's a plus that he can field, can anyone compare him to a Major league player, defense-wise? I do not remember drafting him at all.

Jed Lowrie was a sandwich pick, he plays 2B, and one scout told Peter Gammons that he'd compare him to Adam Kennedy plus a 3rd.

Lowrie homered again tonight, his 2nd.

Another good game for Lowrie:

4 AB, 2 H, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB

That brought his numbers up to .329/.395/.479 in 18 games.

Concerning Jed Lowrie, anyone think its plauisble Sox could resign Loretta (of course if he has productive year) to the tune of 2 seasons. In essence to bridge the gap to Lowrie

it all depends on if the red sox move pedroia back to shortstop or not. lowrie did play the majority of his lowell season at shortstop so signing loretta to an extension means that lowrie is switched back to second and pedroia to short.

True but by all accounts I have read recently, the Sox are switching Pedroia back to shortstop. That will be the position he will be penciled in for Triple A. Some have predicted a call up as early as mid-season

I believe he'll probably stay at 2B, but he'll get some playing time at SS in case Gonzalez falters.

Most of the scouting reports I've read question Dustin's arm strength, so with Lowrie having the stronger arm and good range, he seems like the better choice for SS.

Is it true that Lowrie will start the year in AA Portland?

From my Knowledge he is going to start the year I believe in Wilmington not Portland but I believe he will be in Portland at sometime in 2006.

Lowrie and Pedroia ought to be our future DP combo and hopefully not too far down the road. Pedroia has been injured all spring and I am hoping he is ready to start playing and producing. I would like to see Dustin put as shortstop and be ready to take over at that position when Gonzales stinks up the joint enough that we have to get rid of him. Lowrie and Pedroia can play either position and what the Red Sox have to do is decide who plays which position. Both players are outstanding prospects and I would be very chapped to see either or both of them traded. Those two must play for our team.

JS, I really like Jed Lowrie and I hope he is on the fast track to Boston. This is one of three position players who must not be traded away----Jed, Ellsbury and Pedroia.

Crespo and JS, I'm convinced this guy is headed to Boston within a year and a half. He was a standout at Stanford U, hitting and fielding up a storm. He can also run, hit with decent power, and is one heads-up ballplayers. Again, this is one prospect who must not be traded away for some questionable veteran who may or may not help us. We have gone through that scene before.

Those days are gone of trading top prospects for questionable veterans. Theo is too smart for that and would likely only trade Lowrie for something that is very useful.

Thanks for getting back to me so fast JS. I sure hope you are right about Lowrie. I think Theo would be making a very bad mistake to let him, or Pedroia or Ellsbury go anywhere. These three could form a nice young nucleus for the Red Sox for a long time.

jsinger121
04-09-2006, 08:12 PM
They would form a nice young nucleus but with prospects you never know and I would not rush any of them. Pedroia should be ready by 2007 and he could even help this year. I would be surprised if both Ellsbury and Lowrie don't make it to Portland by the end of the year.

If they keep hitting in the Carolina League like they have this week, they may be up by the end of the month*.

*A little exaggeration, but they are red hot right now.

Absolutely.....If they stay this hot no doubt it will show they are likely too advanced for the Carolina League.

Lowrie is off to a quality start this year: .276/.417/.418/.835 13 XBH (9 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR), 32 walks and 24 K's in 134 AB's. I would really like to see him be promoted to AAA, but I wouldn't be suprised if the Sox decide to take it slow with him.

He was hitting under the Mendoza line until about 3 weeks ago. He's been on fire lately. I love the IsoD.

Quite the resurgence from Lowrie. Season line:

He's proned to streakiness, so let's see what the next month holds.

Jed Lowrie was considered a future Major League regular when he was signed out of Stanford U. a couple of years back and showed good form in the summer of 2005. He had a crappy year last year which might have set him back a spell, but talent always come to the fore. Now it is time for the Red Sox to make sure they play him in the right place. We don't need him at second base if that is where he is playing. Get him to short or third, preferably short and we can see him at Fenway Park in 2009 or 2010 at the latest when Lugo is about to depart the scene.

Jed Lowrie was considered a real comer when we drafted him out of Stanford U. in June of 2005 and he has a good rookie half-season. He sort of drifted backwards last year but is now playing the way the Red Sox envisioned when they drafted him. I think that by 2009he could be the Boston shortstop, especially if Lugo doesn't start coming around soon. There is also a chance that Jed could he fast freighted up to Pawtucket before the summer is over.

If he keeps it up, it will be interesting to see where he is ranked amongst 2B prospects heading into next year.

Lowrie doesn't have the range, hands or arm to be a short stop his future is as a second baseman with the Sox or anywhere else.

If his future is best suited as a 2nd baseman, than he could be good trade bait for the Sox. As long as Pedroia keeps playing the way he has in his career then the job at 2nd is his to keep

this is where the sox will have to make a decision. I think Lowrie has the better hands of the two, but Pedroia is more advanced offensively. But neither are suited to be everyday SS's. One will have to go and I think Pedroia has the job nailed shut thus far.

Jed lowrie made the prospects hot sheet once again. The kid has been on fire this year from Double A to now Triple A. He's been playing more games at 2nd now, where he is best suited. With him knocking at the doors, a trade could happen during the offseason (Mets a possibility with Castillo on contract year?)

Season line (111 games)
124 for 410 (.302 avg) (.402 obp) (.517 slg) (.919 ops) 39 Doubles, 8 Triples, 11 HRs, 61 RBIs, 71 Runs, 68 Walks, 75 Ks, 5 SBs

ORS
08-12-2007, 10:06 AM
Why not just accept Lowrie's deficiency at SS and go with the big bat at a middle of the field position? It's not like that recipe isn't working for several teams right now. Hell, if the Sox go on a run and win a couple of championships, he'll even start to win multiple consecutive gold gloves no matter how bad his D is (Jeter).

jacksonianmarch
08-12-2007, 10:25 AM
might be time for a promotion, see if he can handle it in AAA for the last couple weeks and then put the thought into Lugo's mind by bringing Jed to ST next yr. Maybe it will light a fire under Lugo's ass.

ORS

He's been in AAA for about a 3 weeks....

Games|AB|2B|HR|BA|OBP|SLG|BB|K
18|73|8|3|.329|.359|.589|3|17

I don't like the K/BB, but since he went 65/58 in 337 AA ABs, I think that will come around. And, I don't see him holding that SLG, but I can see it staying around .500.

OPS of .948 is pretty nice. Invite to ST and push Lugo.
