Red Sox Manager Terry Francona plans to give Jed Lowrie more of a look at shortstop, according to The Boston Globe. Lowrie went hitless in four at-bats after replacing Julio Lugo on July 12. "We want to play this kid a little bit," Manager Terry Francona said Saturday. "This kid is steady. He has good at-bats, and kind of looks like Bill Mueller. I'm not sure that's not exciting." The main issue will be whether or not Lowrie is able to play consistently in the field. "He'll be measured by some by balls that he can't get to," Francona said. "But if he makes the routine plays consistently, makes the plays he's supposed to make, that's a good shortstop."
