After seeming like an ageless pitcher for the past few years, everything unraveled for Lohse in 2015. He posted the second worst ERA of his career at 5.85, the most losses in his career at 13 and was even kicked out of the Milwaukee rotation in early August. The 37-year-old especially had trouble keeping the ball in the park, giving up a career-worst 1.71 HR/9. Now a free agent, Lohse will have trouble being anything more than a back-of-the-rotation guy on a middling team after his horrid 2015. It appears Lohse's best days are behind him.
