Mike Lowell to the Phillies?

I admit I just made this up, but with Placido Polanco being helped off the field, the Phillies are pretty thin at third base. (Update: looks like Polanco's going to be out only a couple days).

The Phillies are obviously built to win now, and Greg Dobbs/Juan Castro won't cut it. The Red Sox are looking to move Lowell, and this would be a good fit if Polanco's injury turns out to be serious.

Lowell's value would see a big boost - that park and lineup (and a full-time role) is about the best he could hope for.

Usually you have to make your move before the news happens in order to profit, so Lowell might be worth a pickup in deep mixed leagues and a trade offer in AL ones that allow you to keep stats in the event of an interleague deal.
