. After tossing a shutout last night I’m sure Kyle Lohse is a popular waiver claim. What’s not to like about a guy with a 3-1 record, a 2.01 ERA, and a 0.73 WHIP? You should know he’s been a fast starter for most of his career. . He got bombed last April (0-1, 6.55 ERA), but look at his recent April performances: . 2009:  3-0, 1.97 ERA 2008:  3-0, 2.36 ERA 2007:  1-1, 2.88 ERA . That’s a total of 7-1 with a 2.41 ERA in April over those three years. Considering he went 23-27 the...Read Full Story

The Cardinals starting rotation is in complete disarray, and the club may have finally decided to "look further" into adding help from the outside. The list of pitchers on the mend but "progressing nicely" is getting longer by the day.  Already Chris Carpenter, Mark Mulder, and Matt Clement won't be ready for the start of the season, and now it seems that Joel Pineiro might not be either. "I'm not assuming he won't be there opening day," said pitching coach Dave Duncan.  "I'm assuming he...Read Full Story

Marlins ace Josh Johnson has started earning his $39 million contract. Making his first start since signing his lucrative four-year deal in January, Johnson allowed two runs in two innings in Florida's 6-5 win over the Cardinals on Saturday. Johnson, who'll be Florida's opening day starter after posting a 15-5 record in 2009, looked like an ace in a perfect first inning that ended with Albert Pujols looking at a called third strike. But he was a little rusty in the second inning, which...Read Full Story

Kyle Lohse won for the first time since injuring his forearm more than 2 1/2 months ago, working six effective innings in the St. Louis Cardinals' 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Colby Rasmus drew a bases-loaded walk in the fifth off Kip Wells (0-3) for the go-ahead run and Matt Holliday, Khalil Greene and Brendan Ryan hit balls off the wall in a two-run sixth. The NL Central leaders have won four in a row, and at 63-51 are a season-high 12 games above .500. Reds starter...Read Full Story

I am watching the Republican Debate right now (yes, I am a dork), and upon reading Roch's blog tonight, I saw this... "The Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec reported in today’s editions that the Orioles have held discussions with agent Scott Boras concerning pitcher Kyle Lohse. The club would like to add a veteran starter, but at last check, Lohse was seeking a four-year deal. I don’t see how there’s a match." If this is true, the Orioles must be insane and I'll lose a lot of respect I had for MacPhail...Read Full Story

Yesterday , I lobbied for the club to add starting pitcher Kyle Lohse, and several others agreed (see Bernie Miklasz , Viva El Birdos , and Rockin' the Red ).  Today, the Cardinals agreed to a one-year deal with the free agent, pending tomorrow's physical.  The contract is worth a guaranteed $4.25 million, with $100,000 in incentives for each of 160, 170, 180, and 200 innings.  Joe Strauss has more on the story . This is good news for the Redbirds.  They needed another starter that can take...Read Full Story

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle Lohse, who missed his last start after getting hit by a pitch in the right forearm, left Wednesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds in the top of the third inning. Lohse was taken out with a 3-1 count against Jerry Hairston Jr. with a runner on and none out after meeting briefly with trainer Barry Weinberg and manager Tony La Russa for a second time. Lohse tried unsuccessfully to wave off the first visit in the second inning. The team said Lohse had...Read Full Story

Where he may develop better, than he did with the other teams...Read Full Story

From Jayson Stark : Here's one of the most surprising names to pop up on the "available" list in the past 24 hours -- Kyle Lohse. Officials of two teams that spoke with the Cardinals report that they've been offering to deal Lohse if they can get back the right package. The Cardinals have been looking for both a bat and a bullpen arm. And apparently, they concluded they didn't have the prospects to get both. They got Chris Carpenter back from the disabled list Wednesday, with Adam Wainwright...Read Full Story
