April 10, 200818 yr Kenny wanna go play for a team that's not going to make the playoffs and give you, yes you Kenny Lofton a 15 year plus veteran less than $ 1 Million? Anymore to this argument. Lofton is not playing for pride he plays for dough and for a chance at a Ring. Like the idea but never ever gonna happen.
April 10, 200818 yr i think we already have enough guys more than capable of putting up respectable numbers in center... not to mention maybin OUGHT to be up here pretty soon... at least, i hope.
April 10, 200818 yr 1 year deal.. can anyone argue against it? Can you argue for it? Unless you mean Kenny Lofton the pitcher, and not the old dude, I don't see how.
April 10, 200818 yr I'm happy with Ross and Amezaga filling the void for now. Who ever says Amezaga isn't a good defensive CF is retarded.
April 10, 200818 yr He has batted .825 against RHP the last 2 years and can still play adequate D. It would be amazing to get him. He's a natural platoon partner for Cody, and it would leave Amezaga as an infielder where he belongs. It would also allow us to push Hanley second so he has more RBI chances because of that slugging, and allow us to not even think about rushing Maybin. The question is, does Kenny want to play for a non playoff contender and risk being traded July 31st? It's not if he can't help us or not.

April 10, 200818 yr yea... i figured. but, where i come from (florida), when you say someone batted so-and-so, it usually is refers to his BA. mental note made. thanks for the clarification.
April 11, 200818 yr Does Kenny Lofton have a lot of job offers these days? I'd entertain the idea of it if the price is right, but even then I'm not sure who I want to send down to make room for Lofton. But there's not a huge need for Lofton at this point IMO. If he has a lot of demands there's not much point in getting into it. Afterall, if he was actually worth what he was asking there'd be 5 teams willing to give him more.
April 11, 200818 yr I'm happy with Ross and Amezaga filling the void for now. Who ever says Amezaga isn't a good defensive CF is retarded. so true, but Kenny Lofton can still do a good job for us if needed.
April 11, 200818 yr Get Barry Bonds instead. Great rolemodel for the kids! :lol Truly. What would be the point? Drawing more negative attention to the Marlins? Turning the Marlins clubhouse into the Barry Bonds (freak)show? A few more wins? Is Bonds the difference maker that puts us in the playoffs? And where do you put him? Just a bad, bad idea.

He can give us some of that always needed "veteran leadership" as well as a better bat off the bench in PH situations...
April 11, 200818 yr Not that I think it's a good idea, or even remotely likely.... Lofton Ramirez Hermida Willingham Jacobs Uggla McPherson Treanor Doesn't look too bad, and it goes Leftie / Rightie all the way down....
