News: Atlanta is trying to trade Lowe this offseason, but isn't finding much of a market due to the three years and $15 million left on his contract, FoxSports.com reports. Atlanta has had discussions with the Brewers about trading Lowe for Corey Hart, the FoxSports.com report adds. However, a later MLB.com report says the Braves are not interested in Hart.

Analysis: It sounds like the Braves will shop Lowe as their preferred option to turn a surplus of six starting pitchers into help with the offense at first base or in the outfield. However, the Braves may be forced to trade Javier Vazquez if they want a higher upside bat or trade Kenshin Kawakami to get a lower profile deal.

News: Lowe (blister) is listed as the starting pitcher in Monday's game against the Mets, the team's official web site reports.

Analysis: Lowe says he can pitch with the blister but Bobby Cox has said he's been avoiding using Kenshin Kawakami in relief in case he needs to start in his place. It looks like Lowe will make the start, but check to see if has any setbacks.
