'08 Outlook for Mike Lowell

'07 Season: Mike Lowell had a career year for the Boston Red Sox. It was the first time in his career that he batted over .300 and he hit 15 more RBI's than his previous best season. He was just 9 hits shy of a 200 hit season. Lowell led the team in RBI's and finished the season as World Series MVP.

'08 Outlook: It will be tough for Lowell to repeat the numbers he had last season but he should still put up good numbers. He is a very good defensive third basemen and has become more patient at the plate. If J.D. Drew starts to hit next season Mike could see some better pitches. He now is used to American League pitching and he will should be in a better offensive lineup next season assuming Manny is more productive and Jacoby is the hitter fans think he is. Lowell was at the top of his game last season and should not drop off too much, expect him to hit .290 or above with 100+ RBI's.
