Lowell Connector to Tex

A couple of weeks back, David Ortiz inadvertently told a reporter, the Red Sox need another 30 Homerun guy, there was speculation he was talking about Teixiera, and all of a sudden the Sox are the front runners in the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes, something I definately think is the right move for this team to stay competitive. Aside from keeping if not setting the pace in the AL this move would allow the Sox to get younger, Tex is still not even 28 and about to enter his prime, and their is no better place for him to do that than in Fenway.
Certainly there is something to be said about the juggling that would have to be done in order to get Tex down to Fenway Park, which most likely is going to involve the Trade of Red Sox Nation favorite and 2007 World Series MVP, Mike Lowell. Some fans tend to think that Lowell is untradable. Why? His Contract? Nope. His age? Come on no agism here kids. The reason, his clubhouse presence. Clubhouse presence. Really? That's it. Not that fact he is overpaid, injury prone, 34 years old, and no body knows how he is going to respond to off season surgery. There is certainly some prudence to those sentiments, but haven't we been down this road before? The Red Sox have taken the Godfather approach business not personal when trading Nomar Garciaparra, letting Pedro Martinez and Johnny Damon walk and things seemed to have worked out alright.
Now that we have that out of the way, we can look at how the 2009 Red Sox line-up may look.
CF-Jacoby Ellsbury
2B-Dustin Pedroia
DH-David Ortiz
1B- Mark Teixiera
3B- Kevin Youkillis
LF- Jason Bay
RF- JD Drew
C- Jason Varitek (yup, he will be back, just a predicition)
SS- Jed Lowrie

Stay tuned for a third World Series title since 2004...
