So the major talk of the Red Sox off-season is will they (Red Sox management) or won't they re-sign third baseman and World Series M.V.P. Mike Lowell. I decided to make the Sox brass a "Top 10" list on the main reason why they should re-sign him.
10. Mike Lowell is well respected by his teammates. At the Red Sox "rolling rally" captain and catcher Jason Varitek held up a homemade sign which read "Re-sign Lowell". First baseman Kevin Youkilis made a video at the rally telling fans to yell "Re-sign Lowell". That says it all.
9. We don't want the Yankees to get him. The evil empire has taken enough of our players; they aren't taking Mike Lowell too.
Here is a list of a few notables that the Yankees stole from us: Roger Clemens, Johnny Damon, Wade Boggs, and of course "the Babe" Babe Ruth
8. Keep class in the clubhouse. Mr. Lowell is a classy guy; he's respectful to the media, his teammates, his fans, and he wears a suit often which is rare in post game interviews.
7. The World Series M.V.P. should be on the team the following year so he can have a chance to defend his title, kind of like defening a heavyweight title in boxing if you will.
6. Sox brass will keep women attending Sox games by keeping rugged good looks and a gentleman at third base in Lowell.
5. Good offense.......... case in point:
In the World Series Lowell batted .400 with 6 runs, 4 rbi's, and 1 homerun
In the regular season he batted .324 with 120 rbi's, and 21 homeruns
Lowell is definitely a contender for the M.V.P. Award.
4. Good defense........ he is a 2005 Gold Glove winner for third base.
3. Mike says he wants to stay in Boston, "I've never hid the fact that I like playing in Boston."
2. The Boston fans love Lowell!
1. Mike Lowell is one of the older players on the team who has experience and knows how to perform in clutch situations.
