Buzz: Mets and Phils make offer to Lohse
According to Tim Brown, at Yahoo! Sports, free-agent LHP Kyle Lohse is considering offers from the Mets and Phillies, ‘both of which could go to four years.’
In 34 starts for the Reds and Phillies last season, the 29–year-old Lohse was 9–12 with a 4.63 ERA, while striking out 122 batters through 192 innings.
…well, lohse is durable…the thing is, he’s also hittable…basically, he strikes me as the kind of pitcher who, in the perfect ball park, when on his game, can be a great-looking pitcher, but every thing must go right…i don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but, if the Mets are able to acquire Johan Santana, and pair him up with John Maine, Oliver Perez and Pedro Martinez, assuming Mike Pelfrey and Phil Humber will be in Minnesota, lohse is not a bad option as a fifth starter, though i hate the thought of locking him in for at least three years, which is what i believe 
it’ll take…however, if santana or Joe Blanton are not acquired, and pelfrey and humber are still on this team’s roster come opening day, i’d just as soon start them over lohse…
…that said, it could be fun to have lohse in queens if for no other reason than to regularly hear WFAN’s Chris Russo call him Kyle Lucy, as he insists on doing…
…by the way, the comments are back open…
