Lowe Moved Back to the Bullpen

Terry Francona is not as dumb as some people think, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that Lowe could not start a playoff game for the Red Sox if they had any hope of winning that game. We knew Francona tapped Schilling the replacement ace to start the playoffs but after Friday nights Wakefield win Francona stated that Charles Bronson Arroyo and Wakes will be the 3 and 4th starters if needed.

As far as proceeding down the line, what we're going to do is, we talked to Bronson and Wakefield, they are going to throw 3 and 4," said Francona. "Now, the order may change. Bronson will be available in our bullpen. He'll be available Games 1 and 2 out of the bullpen. Depending on what happens in those games will determine who throws Games 3 and 4."

Lowe is probably not too happy with the news, but in this day and age when the highest paid pitcher in baseball is suggesting that he should not even be pitching in the playoffs (due to his suckyness),it is hard to imagine that Lowe will pop off much on the subject matter.
