well, believe it or not, its actually not that absurd at all. in his career, he's posted a fielding percentage thats downright sick compared to the rest of the league, .975 to .955 (!!!), better than 3rd basemen scott rolen, mike schmidt, AND brooks robinson. in fact, lowell has a higher fielding percentage than any 3rd baseman who has ever won a gold glove. better yet, none of those 3rd baseman even posted a career fielding pct higher than .971 (besides robinson). also, his range factor and zone rating have always been well above the rest of the league.. admittingly, it may seem like a bit of a stretch to call him one of the best because of his uncharacteristically dismal defense this year. but if you look over his entire career, its not unreasonable at all to claim that he's right up there with the likes of rolen, schmidt, robinson and many others.
