The reason I was looking towards Lowe is because the Brewers are most likely going to sign a pitcher this off season...i predict that lowe will be the healhiest of the semi-affordable starters...and a decent value... as for the K thing, in 2007 he struck out more away and in 2008, his k9 was basically the same...the walk totals do go up, but even so his avg. away whip has been right around 1.30 i think it's reasonable to think he'll k very close to the same number of guys and have slightly more walks next year...his ERA will go up, but he should still be under 4... finally, and i hate myself for saying this, because its a small sample, but his road stats are skewed by one terrible outing at angels stadium and another at busch... nonetheless, i see your point...but i definitely think at same price, i'd rather have lowe for 200 innings than sheets for 120
