FACTS/FLUKES: Lowe, J. Weeks, Morrow, D. Ortiz, Cordero

Don’t buy Lowe; sell high … After piling up a 9-17 record with a 5.05 ERA last year, it’s not surprising that Derek Lowe (RHP, CLE) was traded during the off-season. Now in the last year of a four-year, $60M contract, Lowe has gotten off to a scorching start for the Indians.
