Former Phil Kyle Lohse, a second half pickup last year who pitched fairly well down the stretch (3-0 in 13 games/4.61 era), recently signed a 1 year, $4.5 million contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. This bonehead was hoping to sign a longer term deal in the neighborhood of $10 million per annum. He actually turned down the Phillies offer of 3 years/$21 million. Nothing like leaving $16.5 million on the table. Amazingly his agent, Scott Boras, remains employed.
