ARLINGTON, Texas Veteran Derek Lowe, who struggled this year for the Texas Rangers, was designated for assignment Monday to create room for Josh Lindblom.

Derek Lowe Doesn’t Like Sabermetrics, Thinks Analytics Hindered Him Finding Job
Derek Lowe is about to turn 40 years old, is clearly on the downside of his career, and, to hear him tell it, baseball’s newfangled obsession with advanced metrics is only making it harder for him to find work.
On Saturday, the now-Rangers relief pitcher expounded to Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about his strong dislike of sabermetrics. According to Davison, what...
Derek Lowe gets a win?
Yes, he did. And, yes, that question mark is absolutely necessary. I’m still a little surprised by the fact that Derek Lowe not only got a win, but pitched four innings to earn it. I never would have seen that coming.
Nick Tepesch started the game, but was hit in the wrist by a single in the 2nd inning after throwing just 21 pitches. Shame. And I’m sure I wasn’t...
FOOLED YA!
Umpire busts out the ‘Pump Fake, Punch-Out’
Bill Miller was calling the Cubs and Rangers game yesterday and had a very ‘human’ moment which is hard to not appreciate. Derek Lowe of the Rangers was ahead in the count at 0-2 and tossed a pitch which was very close to being a strike, or a ball for that matter. Miller turned to the side like he was going to punch out the Cubs’ Carlos Villanueva, and all of a sudden paused...
Derek Lowe Earns Opening Day Roster Spot With Rangers as Middle Reliever
Derek Lowe isn’t ready to hang it up just yet.
The former Red Sox right-hander, who won all three clinching games during Boston’s World Series run in 2004, has earned a spot on the Rangers’ Opening Day roster, Texas manager Ron Washington announced Tuesday.
Lowe signed a minor-league contract with the team earlier this month and is expected to be used primarily in middle-to...
Derek Lowe has turned down multiple offers
At least five teams have contacted Derek Lowe about the right hander pitching for them in 2013. Lowe, 39, still believes he can serve as a big league starter and has turned down those offers. Teams contacting Lowe have asked about him being a swing man.
“I’ve heard the same thing from everyone,” Lowe said. “I want to be a starter and feel I have a lot left in being a regular...
Lowe looks to get the Tribe back on track
While Derek Lowe was enduring one of the worst seasons of his career in 2011, the Chicago White Sox's Jake Peavy was dealing with another injury-plagued one.
Now healthy, Peavy will try to add to his promising campaign when he faces a rejuvenated Lowe and the Cleveland Indians on Saturday afternoon.
Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner, hasn't won more than seven games...

What’s Going on with Derek Lowe?
When the Indians traded for Derek Lowe immediately after the 2011 season, I thought it was a pretty shrewd move. They were buying low—PUNS!!—on a pitcher who had run into some incredibly tough luck during the 2011 campaign. Atlanta seemed a bit eager to cut bait with him due to his terrible close to the 2011 season: from August 2nd until the end of the season, opposing batters...
