Lowell is in "serious negotiations" only in the sense that it is not a groundless rumor. If it does happen, which I doubt but will admit that it\'s possible, the Yankees would be idiots to put Lowell at first base. I understand why they wouldn\'t be able to because of politics, but out of Lowell, A-Rod, and Jeter, Lowell would be my third choice to move to first base. Lowell is a better third baseman than A-Rod, and Jeter has been a miserable shortstop lately (aside from that highlight-reel worthy jumping throw that covers for sketchy general fielding).
This is what I hate about the big market teams. The Yankees, with a serious hole to fill at a least one corner of their infield, are looking to sign a 33-year-old. And as a Red Sox fan, I admit that they would probably do the same.
