[edit] Biographical Information

Kyle Lohse pitched for the Minnesota Twins from 2001-2006. In the middle of the 2006 season, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds. He played for them until the middle of the 2007 season, when he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Lohse was not in high demand on the free agent market following his so-so 2007 season, and finally signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. He turned out to be an excellent pick-up, putting up the best numbers of his carrer for the Cardinals: in 33 starts, he went 15-6 with a very good 3.78 ERA. He set personal bests for both wins and ERA, topped 200 innings pitched for the second time of his career, and while never a strikeout pitcher, he posted a solid K/W ratio of better than 2 to 1.
