Hey guys, i'm a big tribe fan from up near cleveland and i just saw this thread. Who is excited about what Lofton brings to the table this season? Having a player with his skills who can hit in the two spot should be great for this lineup. The ability to drop a bunt, swipe a bag, hit for average, and play rock solid defense brings alot to the table. I heard all this stuff about needing a power bat, but we have alot of guys who can hit it ou of the park, we just need consistent hitting in the clutch, which I think Kenny can do.
Hopefully Shapiro can keep this awesome season going by bring in a solid bullpen arm, find a 5th starter who can keep us in games, and sign CC to a long term deal. I'm hoping Westbrook settles down as I think we'll need him down the stretch, and I feel Fransisco is our best piece of trade bait for another bullpen arm at this point. We have talent in the OF in our minor league system and Guitierze looks to be a more promising MLB option in RF at this point.
Well sorry about the rant, hopefully you'll see me more in this thread. GO TRIBE
