Schilling & Lowell

Peter Gammons provides a couple of important tips on two 2006 rebound candidates, Curt Schilling and Mike Lowell.

He reports Schilling isn't missing any bats in his minor league starts, and his weight is still up. I'd think he offers a lot of risk on any bid over $20. Even there he could disappoint.

Gammons also reports Lowell isn't catching up to major league fastballs. The chances of him rebounding with lots of doubles is looking bleaker. He is still attractive at $10, though.

However, as more teams pare down their rosters, he will face better and better pitching. If he continues to struggle, he may not be worth more than a flyer at the end of the draft.
