The only reason Lugo has stuck around as long as he has is because they think he's got an excellent offensive upside (or the potential). I think Lowrie definitely has that same upside but with even more plate discipline than Lugo. I agree with Peter in that there's a good chance they cut their losses with Lugo and promote Lowrie. Especially if we keep Cora around for a late-game defensive replacement (I know he mentioned last year how much he misses having a starting job but I'm hoping he'll come around and realize that he doesn't have the offensive prowess to start anymore.)
