If you > haven't noticed, Shortstops are in short supply too ;) Ok....it took a long time to figure out what you talking about but..... Lowrie was the #5 prospect in the International League 2007. That's still pretty good but he didn't show up in the overall top 100. Ianetta was #92.

That's > still pretty good but he didn't show up in the overall top 100. > Ianetta was #92. Lindy's 2009 Baseball Preview may have had it right on Lowrie: "Switch hitter. Smooth swing either way. Understands the strike zone. Makes better contact and shows more pop right-handed. Steady defender. Has good hands and a strong accurate arm. Doesn't have a lot of range. Looks more like a utility infielder than a regular shortstop in the long term." That may be his role with the Sox--utility infielder, and a good one. BTT 4-7-10!
