With a smaller sample size of innings as a closer, one or two bad outings can throw your ERA way out of whack.

Not a fair comp. Although, to be consistent, you should lop off the first half of those Lowe ERA+ numbers in the list, since he was a closer and not a starter.

Not a fair comp.

Also, Damon is on record saying that Joba should be in the bullpen. I wouldn't put too much stock into his opinions on personnel decisions.

He was a drunk, partying his ass off. His ex-wife's name is Trinka. They were called Trinka and the Drinka. He's supposedly turned his life around. I'm all for Lowe. He'll age well too, as he doesn't rely on a big fastball. And Lowe’s last 2 years in the AL East are well publicized. He was a drunk, partying his ass off. His ex-wife’s name is Trinka.
