Lowell Done

Mike Lowell will not be returning to the Red Sox lineup if they reach the World Series:

Mike Lowell will undergo surgery on his right hip Monday, depriving the Red Sox of last year's World Series MVP for the rest of their season.

The third baseman, who is not on Boston's roster for the AL championship series, chose to have the surgery as soon as possible so he would have a good chance to be ready for the start of spring training.

The Red Sox signed Lowell through 2010 after their 2007 World Championship. He's a fan favorite and still a good third baseman, but injuries are starting to take their toll on his career. The Red Sox front office does a good job in general, but even they sometimes get caught up in the moment and don't make the best decisions.
