The guy you see in the picture is Mike Lowell, a three time NL All-Star who the Twins are apparently scouting very seriously. The Marlins have shown interest in Kyle Lohse, so don't be surprised if you see a deal.
Lowell is similar to Bret Boone, in that he has dropped off significantly this year.
Last year Lowell hit .293 with 27 homers and 85 RBIs, and in '03 hit .276 with 32 homers and 105 RBI. This year he's dropped off to .227 with 4 homers. But while Boone is 36, Lowell is 31, so there's a little more reason to think he can be productive.
But geez, instead of getting guys hitting .225 and hoping they turn it around, why don't we just get a guy like Mike Sweeney who we know can hit?
