Can Kenny Lofton still play CF?

It would be nice to have Josh Hamilton, but only an idiot team would trade that guy!

You and me both.

Weren't they trying out Eric Patterson in CF last season. How did that work out? Patterson is a much more patient hitter than Pie, so maybe Lou would give him a longer leash.

I know they are different players but I had my fill with a Patterson in that bloodline playing CF for us (in all honesty I would accept him if was our best option).

Am I the only one who sees EPat as little more than a AAAA type player? His best case scenario is about on par with Murton's 2007.

I'd take Murton's numbers out of CF in a heartbeat. Murton's problem is and was that in the eyes of Cub management, he can only play one position, and it happens to be the one occupied by Alfonso Soriano.

I'm not even sure I'd call him a AAAA player. He had adequate numbers in AAA, but nothing that says "OMG, we must promote him!"
