I think age is catching up to Lowe and beating him about the arm and shoulder on a daily basis. That's the impression I got this past season.

Not a bad move by the Indians since Braves are eating $10 million. Low risk, high reward move IMO.

I wouldn't say high reward, lol. You're right on the low risk part. Anybody that goes 9-17 with a 5.05 ERA for a team chasing a pennant should be traded for a handful of sunflower seeds and a gatorade. Lowe had 1 good game all year, which was against Philly at the beginning of the season, that's it. The other 33 games he pitched in were unbearable to watch. I would rather watch a young rookie struggle than someone who stayed one year too many in the big leagues.
