Veteran going through his normal off season plans. Maybe he should mentor Milton Bradley about how to play hurt.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why the Sox should be pissed
At the end of the season, Lowell probably had multiple dings that he thought time would improve. The thumb ding apparently hasn’t improved and probably wouldn’t have surfaced just yet if it hadn’t been for the trade. Not sure why the Sox should be angry with him. BTW, I’m glad the trade didn’t happen.
When the trade fell thru
I went over to SOSH to see what they thought. One theme was – thank God we tried to trade him so that we discovered the injury. Let’s have all the players examined now so we don’t get caught short come ST. Kinda baffled that the FO wasn’t takin’ care of bidness better.
A player lying?
All MLB players lie about their injuries. I am surprised a MLB physician actually found something wrong.
Look at Jason Smitdt. Best pitcher in Baseball and signed by the Dodgers and pitches three games and then out for four years. Some physical.
This happen all the time. If I am spending $100 million dollars the guy is spending a week at the Mayo Clinic.
I've always been surprised
that there isn’t a postseason physical for players.

I'd guess he figured just to play through any aches
Not sure how much a right thumb affects gripping a bat, but if MY can go a half season + with broken fingers on each hand, a torqued thumb shouldn’t be a disability. If the Rangers won’t accept a mussy physical, that’s hardly on the player. If he intentionally deceived the Red Sox though, he’s little Jack Horner, still in his corner.

MY really sucked when he played with those broken fingers.
In fact, is was probably a pretty bonehead move on his part to try and play through it (which just made it worse) instead of taking a couple weeks to recover.
I failed my LSB ethics test.
