john/z28jd Ted,actually Lowell was traded because of Scott Brosius blocking him and i think they did ok with that deal considering he had won the world series mvp that year and then they signed him for the next 3 years that included 2 more series wins in which he batted .375 and .308 respectively. Arod didnt even come around till another 3 seasons after that,the year that wouldve been Lowells free agent year.The Marlins signed him to an extension prior to that,then got burned bad by his horrible play in 2005 and had to dump him to the Sox who only took him to get Beckett not because they wanted him
