    RUMOR: Lohse to Mariners

    Gregg Doyel threw this out on his show, he said he recieved an anonymous email that said Lohse would be traded to the M's for a couple of minor leaguers. The email said it would be announced by 7:00PM tonight. It's probably false but I thought I'd post it.

    Hope it is true I'm going tomorrow night and don't want to see Lohse.

    He's 30 years old and in AAA with underwhelming numbers--Looks like the wrong kind of individual to be targeted by the reds.

    Thing is,like has been stated before, these are the type of players we are gonna get for the Loshe's ,Conine's etc of this team. Maybe a little younger but that is about it.
    A firesale as some call it would not get us the players we need (except opening spots for some one like Votto) unless you look at trading Harang. That to me is defeating the purpose.

    the Reds sent Zach Ward to the Twins for Lohse when Lohse's value was (arguably) lower than it is now. I would think that something like a Ward would be a good comp in terms of return ---(an A ball player with good numbers who doesn't project to be a top arm). At least someone like a Zach Ward could always surprise you--With a middle-aged career minor leaguer, you're pretty much guaranteed a performance ceiling that is pretty low.

    There was another player Doyel mentioned but I forgot his name. I think he was in AA.

    He is great at getting the count to 0-2, or 1-2, but can't make that good pitch. That's why he is an average pitcher.

    The same reason the Twins let him go. He has no interest in pitching from the pen. When the Twins put him there, he gave minimal effort and was shelled.

    Re: RUMOR: Lohse to Mariners

    How about trying Dunn, Lohse,and Freel for Adam Jones and Kameron Mickolio.
    Jones would start right away in center and Mickolio has moved quickly through the m's system, at 6'9" and 256 he throws 92-95 with an improving change up and has a hard slider for an out pitch. Just a thought but a trade like this could free up salary and improve the team at the same time. I am not a GM so I don't know if this is a deal that Wayne would even take a stab at, but if it were me I would give it a go.
