Sure, he could throw fast and hard, but he always seemed to give the other team the break they needed. We'd always groan when we'd see him on his way in.

As for the Marlins I am thoroughly dismissing any ideas of another Cinderella-esque season. They lost the most important thing a team can lose, your leader. Ivan Rodriguez was not only all of their player's "best friend" but he was the spiritual leader day in and day out. I just don't see a quiet guy like Lowell or a head case like Conine stepping up and taking command of the locker room.
Conine is a head case? That's news to me.

It took thorough convincing from front office management to finally get him back on the field, he nearly voided the rest of his 2 year contract at the time.

He's been a "model citizen" with the Marlins, so I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Armando Benitez - P, Marlins March 6, 3:50 p.m.
Wondering why you haven't seen Benitez on the mound yet? Since he did not throw during the offseason, the Marlins are giving him time to build arm strength, the Miami Herald reports.
Just thought I'd throw this little tidbit into the discussion. Sounds like he went through some great preperation for this season.
//edit: After I read the above, I read that Lowell was experience soreness in his elbow after he didn't throw during the entire offseason? What is up with this?

All I know is that Lowell missed a month at the end of the season after being hit in the wrist, and played little in the playoffs. Lingering effects, I'd guess.
EDIT: Thought I'd throw this in there, a quote by Lowell from the Marlins site: "This is getting blown out of proportion. I'm all right."
