Lohse Wins His 9th


Explain to me who couldn't have used him this season. The Angels, White Sox, and the Blue Jays are the only exceptions I'll give. Everyone else is just plain stupid. I felt this way during Spring Training when no one had signed him yet. He sat at home until March 14th. Last season, he was a combined 9-12 with a 4.3 ERA in 192.2 IP. While the ERA wasn't that good and no one knew Lohse would be this good, I have a hard time believing that teams didn't have $4 million to spend to strengthen the rotation. The Cardinals did, and now, they have a pitcher with a 9-2 record with a 3.63 ERA in 94.1 IP. Who couldn't use that? The Phillies maybe?
