As discussed here: http://pcpsports.com/2008/09/18/thinking-about-the-off-season-again%e2%80%a6/

I envisioned a Lowe-Phils marriage in August and I still think its a great union. I have heard that if the Phils bring in Lowe, Moyer is out. One or the other. As you have up there, i think its a fine rotation with Lowe or Myers at 2/3, Blanton at 4, and any combination of Happ, (most likely) Kendrick, Eaton, or Carrasco as the fifth starter. I think it’s Happ’s job to lose, with the others as alternatives should Happ struggle.

I say 3 years 39 mil. Thats 13 mil per season. You know Boras won’t spare a nickel despite Lowe’s advanced age.

Apparently Lowe will wait for Sabathia to sign before making a decision. It’s a smart move, since his value should rise once option A is off the table. Especially if the Yanks miss out on CC.

“Whoops…I was writing when I was on the air interviewing Cecil Feilder…I can multi-task!”…obviously you can’t, or at the least, aren’t very good at is. God knows what the hell you were actually talking to Cecil about.

But I’m not sure about Lowe. He made it clear during the NLCS he hates CBP, even thought his sinker should thrive there. Plus during that series, he actually admitted the fans got to him. Is that someone we really want on our team?

Lowe will be a very good choice for the Phils, If they also sign Moyer does that make one of their young pitchers available for trade for that corner outfield position?…I think so

Whoops, I meant 3 for 37 million, but I was writing when I was on the air interviewing Cecil Feilder…I can multi-task!

We’ve discussed this throughout the year and again, I’d love to get Lowe. He’d be a great fit for CBP.

I think you might be low on his numbers though, real low. In fact, he’s probably closer to getting $17 million per year than $17 million over three.

Anyhow, in the end, an annual salary of $12 million will probably be where Lowe settles in at. I’d offer 2 years at $24 million or 3 years at $30 million.
