Who wouldn't want to play for the Brewers. Young, upcoming team with playoff expectations. He fits the bill offensively, with little Ks and good OBP, with moderate power, but is miserable defensively and since he is an established veteran will probably cost between 3 and 5 million. I still remember his bloop single off Rivera over Jeter to win the 2001 WS, as Counsell dashes home. 57 and 142 that year was pretty good, but by any means a fluke, possible juicer. Thats the problem with this era, seasons like that are mired with allegations about steroids, HGH, the whole nine yards. Kenny Lofton is also intriguing possibility. He has good range, shit arm that can be covered in LF, and a great OBP. Only problem is he almost has to be platooned, hits LH like Jenkins. O but we have Gabe Kapler. I'm still in the Bobby Kielty camp to platoon with Gross or I suppose Lofton. Almost an ideal #2 hitter considering the cost and the fact he wouldn't be signed long term and not block LaPorta. I still want to trade for a 3B, Rolen sounds good, move Hall to LF, Hart to CF, and Braun to RF. Hall can then be traded or moved back to 3B, something I am against, when LaParta is ready.
