What he did in the playoffs doesn't cancel out his 5.00+ ERA during the reuglar season. |

Yea i would be careful with Lowe. He has ace potential but needs to stay in shape to be effective. When he's not in shape like during the season he sucked. But when during September he got more serious and was dominant in the playoffs. I dont want to take anything away from D-Lowe he pitched great but in the Cardinals game I think any pitcher would have done well cause they were just dead! |

skip lowe. go hard after pavano, and if you can't get him go with clement. the guy has nasty stuff and should win 20 games one of these years. clement glavine benson zambrano trachsel(unless you can get rid of him) |

lowe could be good again under the watch of peterson, he's a groundball pitcher and would be coming to shea, he wouldn't be a bad signing but like you always say doug, the mets can do better!!! :peace: |

Lowe has as good a sinker as any pitcher in the game. When he is on he is lights out. If that could ever be harnessed consistantly, he could be dominant at Shea. |

i totally agree, i mean i'd rather the mets sign someone else but lowe COULD be a top of the rotation pitcher with some help from a guy like rick peterson!!! |

Then why are you so opposed to Zambrano? |

Firstly, they are different pitchers. Derek Lowe is NOT considered a POWER pitcher. Zambrano's job is to strike people out, while Lowe's job is to have the hitters put the ball in play on the ground. Zambrano at his best hasn't come CLOSE to Lowe at his best. and we didn't trade the top 2 pitching prospect in baseball for Lowe. A lot of people would be a lot easier on the Mets and Zambrano if they didn't trade their best prospect for him. I mean would you rather have Zambrano, or would you rather have held on to Kazmir and deal him for one of the A's big 3 this off season. That is out of the question now. |

Yeah, it was a bad trade, but you're saying if he could control his sinker, he could be great. NJDevils is always saying that if Zambrano could lower his walks, he could be great. It's kinda the same thing. |

No question, but Lowe has already shown in years past that he can. Zambrano hasn't shown that. |

If Benson doesn't sign with the Mets, Lowe is the last option. |

He shouldn't be. Yeah I would take Pedro, Pavano, and Radke over him, but that's about it. I'll take him over Clement, Perez, Morris, or Leiter. Actually I think it is pretty even between him and Benson. The only thing leaning me to Benson is the 2 years age difference. |

relax timo, i notice you like to overreact and post in bold when you think someone is wrong, shove those bold letters up your ass! anyway i think benson will be re-signed, a good replacement for leiter would be radke, i heard from i think verducci or one these these famous baseball writers that he'd love to play for the mets, i've always been a fan of his, he'd be a good signing!!! |

How can you argue in favor of a 5.42 ERA? |

I noticed you forgot to post his 3.88 ERA in the AL. And how you forgot to post how he comes up big everytime he is in a tight spot in the playoffs. |

his ERA sucks the last 2 seasons but he has been good before and he has pitched pretty damn good in the playoffs, lowe wouldn't be my first option but he'd be a good option if the mets didn't re-sign leiter!!! |

It's a moot point, the Mets won't need him in the playoffs. |
