| Kyle Lohse Trade Analysis |

The Reds made a deadline deal! Here’s how it went tonight with a Reds fan I know, who was not aware of the trade. Random Fan: Did they trade Griffey? Adam: Oh, no. Random Fan: They shipped Dunner out of town didn’t they? Adam: Uh…no… Random Fan: Then who did they trade man? Adam: Kyle Lohse. Random Fan: Oh. Adam: Yeah. That’s kind of what the trade was. Boring, uneventful. But I’ll dig into it anyway. The Phillies Haul They got an inconsistent right handed pitcher for a young lefty who might develop into a fourth starter, but reeks to the high heavens like a reliever. (Soft tosser…maxes out at 88 MPH…). Is Lohse really that good? No, he isn’t. That’s the answer your looking for. Lohse can give you a decent LAIM innings, but his new home park will be as helpful to him as his one was, which, by all accounts, was nil. So the Phillies essentially got a middle of the road starter, I guess, for a middle of the road prospect. The Reds Haul Why even bother? Lohse is still fairly inexpensive, and at least he’s somewhat dependable. Mat Maloney (the prospect) definitely doesn’t sound like a stud, and he’s already showing a weakness for coughing up the home runs (13 home runs in 120 or so innings.) So basically, Rivsy dealt a 3 or 4 starter for a C+ prospect. Fantastic. We want to hear your feedback. Feel free to comment on this article here or visit our message board.
