Get Kenny Lofton


Iowa

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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...
