The thing with Lofton is that he will only be with us for one season.  He actually did a decent job with Philadelphia last season hitting .335.  Yeah sometimes I wish we still had Milton Bradley but he has a very volatile personality, one that ran a little thin with the Dodgers.  I am looking forward to Lofton having a good season, maybe not a great one because I believe he is 38 but I still think we got a better deal with him than say the Giants do with Steve Finley who was just traded there.  Finley is 41 and coming off of an injury.  A lot of the fans didn't want Damon signed for 10+ Million so Lofton to me is a good stop gap for the youngsters or whatever direction the team will go in after 2006.
