I love how Lofton is still putting up good numbers at his age but don't see the real need for him on this squad. I think Bruce is ready to start and Freel can help out if he does struggle at first but think they need to stick with him just like the Rockies did with Tulo. I think Lofton is better served with another team like the Braves or Oakland.Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Reds are interested in Kenny Lofton.
Signing Lofton would seemingly lead to top prospect Jay Bruce beginning the season in the minors, as the Reds could go with a Lofton-Ryan Freel or Lofton-Norris Hopper platoon in center field. Even at 41 years old Lofton is a fine platoon starter, hitting .296 with a .367 on-base percentage last season.
