Big surprise: Scott Boras thinks that 35-year-old Derek Lowe deserves a "Barry Zito contract":

Ever since the Yankees decided "What the hell, like we don't already have enough insane fuck-you contracts anyway" and spent $275 million for A-Rod on a 10-year deal that paid him until he was 42, Boras is apparently using age 42 as his benchmark for all of his other free agents. Not just free agent hitters coming off years where they hit 54 home runs and won the MVP...all free agents. Here are some prime examples of the kinds of contracts that Boras expects this offseason:
1. Manny Ramirez (age 36): 6 years, $150 million.
2. Derek Lowe (age 35): 7 years, $126 million.
3. Felipe Lopez (age 28): 14 years, $248 million.
That last one hasn't officially been declared yet, but you just know it's coming.
