May 3, 200719 yr Author I hate the Red Sox and all, but I love seeing Beckett do well. I was a fan of the trade that sent to Boston, but I knew he'd probably be an elite pitcher in Boston. I have no problems with Josh Beckett, I hope he does well as well. I am still in the air with Mike Lowell. He was my favorite player when he was here and his dad is my dentist, however the trade looks better for us of he doesnt play well. I do hope AJ Burnett fails big time Lowell laid an egg in the biggest year in franchise history and played the "woe is me" card for the better part of 2 seasons after the World Series. He can rot in hell for all I care. As for Beckett, I hope he goes 32-0.

I remember Lowell being a big part of '03 and a three time all-star.

How about "most important" as in most important for securing future success of the franchise. Call this hyperbole, by Mike Lowell's failure cost us a division, certainly the wild-card and allowed the fire-sale as we saw that the 2005 team was paid for by leveraging expected playoff revenue.

He did tank in '05 but you can't forget about all the other good things he did here. I agree that '05 was an important year but you can't blame it solely on Lowell. I remember Juan Pierre grounding out to short pretty much every chance he got and the crappy bullpen with the exception of Todd Jones helped them lose quite a few games as well. Lowell, JP, Gonzalez, and the pitcher's spot (except dontrelle) were ALL automatic outs.
