What do you expect from him this year!
Overated or Not?
I drafted him on all my teams.
My friend keeps telling me that he is overated.
What do you think?

i think he's hurt more than he lets on

having a l;ot of trouble throwing across the infield

and bum shoulder means bum power

but hope I'm wrong for your sake

It depends on what rounds you have been drafting him. I find that this season I've been drafting Hank Blalock in the 7th round a lot of the time. With Lowell going in 5 or 6, I'd rather have Blalock in round 7. Blalock is the better all around fantasy 3B in my opinion, and he doesn't carry the injury risk of Lowell, but I have Lowell on one or two teams also, so I hope he performs well too.

His shoulder is not hurt!It was his elbow which he is over now.If he played 162 games he would easily be the top producer at 3rd base which is unreal because in most drafts I see Glaus and the like go way ahead of him.He hit 3 more homers than Chavez last year and Chavez didnt miss any time hardly, and Lowell missed alot of time.
