At the request of AN community member, MoonOverMarin this post is about Oakland A’s second baseman Jed Lowrie. But really, Jed is deserving of some recognition after nearly everyone begged for him to be jettisoned from the roster. It’s funny how things work out, isn’t it? All winter we clamored for Lowrie and Yonder Alonso to be sent packing and here they are, two of the team’s best hitters. I guess it’s a good thing we don’t get to make decisions.
What Lowrie is doing this season is impressive, considering he’s a 33-year old coming off 3-straight below-average seasons.
