Lowe impressive against Nationals: Derek Lowe spent the winter overhauling his mechanics and is pleased with his progress. A few more outings like Monday night's and Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox won't care how many tweaks Lowe makes. Lowe, Cox's choice to pitch opening day April 5, worked four hitless innings and the Braves beat the winless Washington Nationals 5-2 Monday night. "(Lowe) got all ground balls and had six punchouts, so he had quite a night," Cox said. "He was outstanding. That should be one of the best performances of any spring." Coming off a one-inning stint March 10 in which he was troubled by a blister on his right foot -- and gave up three runs and five hits -- Lowe allowed only one baserunner. Washington's Roger Bernadina reached in the second when first baseman Eric Hinske dropped shortstop Yunel Escobar's throw. The right-hander credited his ability to master the mental aspects of his new delivery, something he's had trouble doing in the past when the results weren't indicative of how hard he was working.

Fantasy Analysis

Lowe certainly got the desired results against the punchless Nationals. Lowe (1-0) struck out six and was in command all the way in his deepest outing of the spring. "I'm able to throw it through the target," said Lowe, who is coming off a disappointing 2009 season in which he was 15-10 but posted a 4.67 ERA, his highest in five years. Lowe is slated to be the No. 2 starter for the Braves this season but is going to get the opening-day nod. He falls just inside the top 50 Fantasy starters to target on Draft Day. Lowe is a threat to chew up 200 innings and net 15 wins, but he is held back in Fantasy since he doesn't strike out a ton of folks. He is more of a No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy SP in mixed leagues.
