Jed Lowrie, SS
Mazz's grade: B-

We don’t care who you are or what league you play in; if you go 49 games without an error at shortstop, you’re playing some darned good defense. Whether Lowrie is a long-term answer at shortstop remains to be seen – he hit a mere .223 from the left side ands strikes out like Adam Dunn – but the Red Sox didn’t get worse when he took over at shortstop. Rather, they got better.
