Jed Lowrie
7 October 2008
When Jed Lowrie came to the plate, I turned to my wife and told her I had zero faith in his ability to come through. The words had barely spilled from my mouth when he turned around a Scot Shields pitch to end the series.

to bear down and masterfully execute his pitches to get the outs he needed. Only once, after Jed Lowrie booted a gimmie grounder that would have ended the third inning, did Lester allow a run to cross home plate, after Torii Hunter dropped a flare into left field for a single. After that, Terry Francona’s ace in the hole shut the door on Anaheim and completely blew the Angels’ biggest bats out of the water (Lester didn’t even give up an extra-base hit).

in Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen, Jon Lester (and you could throw in Jed Lowrie and Justin Masterson) - a list, by the way, that includes two MVP candidates (Youk and Pedroia), the best closer in baseball (sorry Mariano "Skeleton Face" Rivera) and a potential future Cy Young winner (Lester).

nd Paul Byrd (potentially two of the ugliest pitchers ever to don a Sox uniform, as an aside), that Jed Lowrie would have more RBI than Julio Lugo, that Manny would take his Manny show to the left coast, that Jason Varitek would be struggling to hit .220, that Kevin Youkilis would be the team's most feared power hitter, and that David Ortiz would miss the bulk of the first half with an injury - I'd probably have predicted that the Sox would finish fourth in the American League East.

However, an injury to Lugo gave rookie Jed Lowrie a chance to prove himself and he has done just that.
No one in Red Sox nation really knew who Lowrie was, but as of late, #12 has proven himself to the fans and the Sox organization. In 46 games, Lowrie has 1 homerun and 30 RBI's. He's been pretty impressive defensively and offensively, and is incredible with runners in scoring position. Lugo on the other hand, struggled with runners in scoring position and has less RBI's than the rookie.
