Derek Lowe

When the Indians released Derek Lowe last month, there were some that thought that we should think about picking him up. Yet others said "If WE pick up Lowe, he'll get rocked. But, if THE YANKEES pick up Lowe, he'll be lights out."

The theory being that everything that the Yankees touch turns to gold, while much of the things that we do wind up backfiring.

Well, Lowe was indeed lights out for the Yankees ...... for one game.

Lowe pitched 4 shutout innings to finish off a game for the Yankees in which their starter only went 5 innings that night.

In Lowe's last 5 outings for the Yankees, he has pitched 5 innings, giving up 6 runs (5 earned) on 14 hits. In one outing, he failed to record a single out.

Obviously, I always root against anybody that wears the Yankee uniform ........ but watching Lowe fall apart in particular gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. .

Call every Yankee fan you know and thank them for signing Derek Lowe.

I specifically said I hope the Yankees pick him up because he's toast.

So glad we didn't pick him up. Not that I wanted him but it's nice to see other FO's making stupid decisions.

Besides giving up hits and runs, he also looks terrible out there. Is he just really out of shape or for some reason not used to heat anymore? He looks like he might pass out every time he's brought in. I don't remember him looking like he was laboring so much as a starter years back.
