Peter here again, today, the 6th of May. And the second winner of the year, the one who stood above and beyond what was said in print and or radio/television before the season, is MIKE LOWELL, our doubles machine. Currently he is batting .350, is leading the major leagues in doubles, and is providing steller defense a la Mueller at 3rd base. Before the season he was said to be washed up, finished, with a slow bat that was past its prime. Well HA, look at him go. Our infield glue on the left side with Alex Gonzalez, but with a potent bat that has been scorching the Earth. Congats Mikey, and keep it going. You've so far turned out to be the more valuable of the Beckett-Lowell duo. Josh could take lessons.
