Yankees pursuing Kyle Lohse?

One of the top free agents sure to generate plenty of attention this coming offseason is Kyle Lohse.He pitched outstanding during the regular season finishing with a 16-3 record, 143K, and 2.86 ERA. Although, Lohse had his worst pitching performance of the season in Game 7 against the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS, he did finish the postseason with a 2-1 record.  Lohse, also, demonstrated enough command, composure, and maturity throughout this season to prove that he is capable of being dominant. He’ll join Zack Greinke, Ryan Dempster, Anibal Sanchez, Edwin Jackson and Shaun Marcum on the free agent market. Names like Jake Peavy and Dan Haren are reportedly likely to hit the market as well after team options on the right-handers are declined. The New York Yankees will likely pursue Lohse relentlessly hoping to pair him behind CC Sabathia, as a Number 2 or 3 starter for next season.   The pressure to perform in New York is enough to break down many pitchers around the MLB, but  Lohse has established a reputation of being steady, confident, and I believe fans will appreciate how effectively he mixes his 2-seamball, curve, and slider.  When Scott Boras gives Brian Cashman a call, this offseason about Kyle Lohse, he will surely listen, much to the delight of many fans in the Big Apple.
