Lohse - Reds dark horse?

[Vottomatic]

I'd like him better if he were left handed.

I'd like him better if he were Justin Verlander.

If Arroyo can give the Reds 200 innings, is that enough of a benefit to where you would take him over a Kyle Lohse who will give your team 188+ innings? I don't think it is.

That's a good point as well.
I guess freaky or not, Lohse had some injuries.

Arroyo has been almost superhuman in his ability to log innings.. I mean, his ability to go out and give innings is elite, and gives me comfort. Of course, he could have his own freak accident at any time.

Honestly, I guess I haven't been following Lohse enough to be comfortable picking Lohse vs Arroyo. Of course, I'm naturally going to be a little biased towards the guy I know better and have been rooting for.
If I was the GM (or even playing a computer game), I'm not sure who I'd pick.
I think it's a close call.

What reason is there to believe that Lohse will be bad this season (or even below average for that matter)?

Because he's an ex-Cardinal?
I don't get that either. Sure, he might regress, but I don't think it's a given.
