Re: **Atlanta Braves offseason thread

BTW, the more I think about it, the more I think Lofton is the perfect fit for Atlanta (although I think he's a perfect fit for many teams). He'll project about 4.5 wins, so that's a 3 win improvement over Anderson and he'll only cost about $6MM-$7MM on a one year deal. The Braves have enough cheap depth in the OF to cover the time his old legs need to spend on the bench.

He would be an ideal stopgap, but I don't think the Braves will have much interest in Lofton. He is about the only player that Bobby Cox never got along with and there was a reason he was shipped back to Cleveland after one all-star season in Atlanta.
