I am not a big Lowell fan, so I say that you should stay put.

Help me?

Hang onto Blalock for the power numbers... Lowell might not be as good in the second half.

Not a huge difference, but i would prob lean towards lowell if you have enough moves to spare.

They're both fragile - I lean toward Lowell, but I honestly don't expect either of them to avoid multiple trips to the DL this season.

I would make the switch. After a hot start, Blalock is only hitting .203 this month. Lowell is a much more consistent and reliable option, both in terms of health and production.

Thanks for the help with mine. ;-D

I would roll with Lowell. Blalock has really tailed off lately. Like Lowell's avg and he should have good power and RBI numbers in Boston's lineup.

Help?
