The Mets could go after Derek Lowe this winter as they look to fortify their pitching rotation heading into the 2009 season.

Lowe will become a more likely option for the Mets if they decide to let Oliver Perez walk.

RealGM Note: Lowe was ranked 50th in season FIC (22nd amongst starters) and 'deserved' to make $12.5M, giving him a Reina Value of +25%.
