I think the loss of a pick should not be seen as a huge barrier to a deal. The baseball draft is enough of a crap shoot, this is not like losing a 1st rounder in the NFL draft. The fact that he is looking for a high annual salary (15mil+ a year is what it seems) is the biggest issue, or should be. I'm curious if any teams have actually thrown any offers at him, low balling him, hoping he will be desperate to sign.

If you really need the help now, it doesn't matter. However, with that salary he's asking for, it's not worth it. The salary is the major issue here, or should be.Comment

That, the pick and the fact that he wants too many years, and you'll be paying a lot for production that's going to fall off after two years (it will likely be a four year deal.) He's been rumored to the Orioles all off-season, and with all of those factors in play, I would rather go with what we have, or send a decent prospect to the Dodgers for one of their veteran starters and have them foot the bill for the year.Comment

I actually think the team will stick with what they have to be quite honest, I was just throwing out there what I would do if I needed to make a move. There are plenty of potential starters on the 40 man roster that they don't have to make a move at this point. Lohse isn't worth the move at this point.Comment
