In the early season Jed Lowrie has become an offensive force. I was watching the MLB Network & they said his current week of hitting over .500 was only equaled once in Red Sox history by Wade Boggs.
After 2 injury-plagued seasons in 2009 & 2010 Lowrie's bat has caught fire in 2011. Normally a sure-handed fielder, he has made some miscues in the field. But his bat has more than made up for them.
Where would the Sox be without his 9 RBI in 7 games? Not at 5-10. As one of the blog commentors wrote today, we are not giving Lowrie his due. I was thinking the same.
Keep it up Jed! Maybe you will wake up a few more bats.
