I felt as long as the Astros weren't interested in winning, they should have made Lowrie their DH and let the others fight for the SS job. If Jed gets a full season without getting injured, he probably hits 20+ homers (same as Pena) but for about 50 points better avg. then you can have the winner of the Greene/Elmore/Marwin/Villar battle get the majority of time at SS while Jed makes a few random starts at SS and 3B just to stay sharp. Now the we have Pena/Freiman as the DH, we can probably put Jed at SS but he probably misses about 60 games unless we cover him in bubble wrap for the rest of the season.
