After four years as their everyday first baseman, the Rangers sent Lowe to the Nationals last offseason. He struggled to find his rhythm with his new club, ultimately being released in mid-August after recording a .665 OPS, well short of the .791 mark he compiled with Texas. Lowe was quickly signed by the Red Sox, where he filled a need at first base. The change of scenery helped, as he registered a .790 OPS, but Boston still released Lowe after the season. His track record should earn him another chance, but he may be entering the platoon stage of his career after posting a modest .504 OPS against left-handed pitching. Read Past Outlooks
