Obviously, I was wrong on Lowe

...Based on the last post I wrote, I wanted to at least admit that I was wrong. Obviously, Atlanta missing out on Furcal, Peavey, Burnett and then finally Smoltz put them in a desperate position which forced them to give Lowe the 4th year and extra money per season.

There was basically a perfect storm that ultimately turned into the contract that Derek Lowe signed with Atlanta. I would not have given him that kind of deal either, you can get the same kind of numbers from a much cheaper alternative. Besides, at the end of that contract Derek Lowe will be 40. Wouldn't you rather see the Mets spend that kind of money on someone a little bit younger? Like Oliver Perez or Ben Sheets?

Lowe lucked out, simple as that.
