Here's my guess though -- Scott Boras, his agent, is lobbying various MLB owners to sell them on Lohse. Perhaps a team like the Phillies, Nationals or Rangers decides he's the final piece for them. Maybe multiple teams get involved. Whatever it is, Boras doesn't seem to want much out there publicly. There have been few Lohse-related rumors this winter. ]]></description></item>

                   <pubDate>Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:29:22 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Players can't be arb eligible every year. Their eligibility depends on their service time. Players with between three and six years of service are arb eligible. So are the players at the top of the two to three years service class (super twos). After you have six years of service, you're a free agent. ]]></description></item>
