Cubs Looking at Derek Lowe?
#7
<!--quoteo(post=5340:date=Dec 16 2008, 10:42 PM:name=Scarey)-->QUOTE (Scarey @ Dec 16 2008, 10:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->I have a very strong feeling that Lowe is going to flop big time on whoever signs him. The guy is turning 36 in June. I would only feel comfortable signing him if my home ball park had an expansive outfield.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Since Lowe is one of the best sinkerballers in the league I am not to worried about the size of the yard he plays in. I more worried about the defense we'd put behind him and the fact that he is 36 years old with a lot of mileage on his body.

Over the last 4 years he has been quite consistent with last year being the best of them.


EDIT - I just checked Lowe's home/road splits. Over the last 3 years he is almost a full run worse when he's not pitching at Dodger Stadium. That's definitely a concern.
