Lowell Trade Off

Maybe it was my post earlier today, but a source has told the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham that Mike Lowell's busted right thumb requires surgery. Lowell's impending surgery seems to have destroyed the deal with the Texas Rangers for 1B/C/DH Max Ramirez, and no less importantly, put a kink in Theo's plans to acquire every MLB'er with the last name Ramirez. Abraham reports that Lowell will have surgery after Christmas and hopes to be back for the beginning of spring training.

Until reading about Lowell's impending surgery, this post was going to be about Scott Rolen's new contract and the possibility of the Sox pursuing him as a short-term replacement at 3rd. Guess I jinxed the Lowell trade by thinking of Rolen, so on that note, I look forward to watching the Los Angeles Lakers win the 2010 NBA Finals!
