Epstein tells Herald he's confident Lowell will be back

Mike Lowell fans take heart: Theo Epstein says in today's Boston Herald that re-signing the veteran third baseman, who continued his tremendous season with an RBI double and a great base-running play that led to a critical run scored, is a priority for the Red Sox in the offseason. He goes so far as to say "I'm sure we'll be able to get something done."

There has been much speculation that the Red Sox might focus their attention on outbidding other clubs for Alex Rodriguez. But Lowell, for now, is the clear fan favorite in Boston.

Survey: Will Mike Lowell be a member of the Red Sox in 2008?

I certianly hope so. He is not only a great player but is clubhouse favorite. It has been said that he bridges the gap between Hispanic and American players. Just think about it for a minute. Mike was a salary dump throw in in the Becket deal. Over the past two years he has produced 41 homers and 200 RBI. He is a wonderful talent and as Tito said he is a better person than player. A player/person like Mike Lowell must be retained. Theo will sign him.

I'll be very disappointed if they don't have Lowell back. He has done so much for the Sox. It would be such a turn off if it's only about money.
