Braves sign Lowe

The Atlanta Braves signed Derek Lowe today to a four year $60 million contract. This makes the NL East a little more interesting. The Braves are in a nice position to make some noise, their rotation doesn't have the bonafide ace that the Phillies have with Hamels or the Mets have with Santana, but they have great depth especially if Tim Hudson can have a decent , healthy year. The Braves add Lowe to earlier acquisitions Javy Vazquez, japanese import Kenshin Kawakami, young hurler Jair Jurrjens, and Hudson.
