	Kenny Lofton - BR Bullpen
		Kenny Lofton is a high-average hitter with stolen base talent who has been valuable at the top of the line-up for many years.
		Lofton has played for 11 teams in his major league career (through the middle of 2007), only one away from the record of 12 teams set by Mike Morgan.
		Lofton, who played for the University of Arizona, where he was also on the basketball team which reached the Final Four in 1988, was drafted in the 17th round by the Houston Astros at age 21 and broke in with them for 21 games at the age of 24 in 1991.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Finally a deal: Lofton, Pirates reach one-year agreement
		Lofton was to fly to the Pirates' spring training camp in Bradenton, Fla., for a physical Friday before the team officially announced the deal, according to a baseball source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
		Lofton, who had been negotiating with Pittsburgh for weeks, will be reunited with outfielder Reggie Sanders, his teammate last season with the NL champion San Francisco Giants, and will become the team's center fielder and leadoff hitter.
		Lofton wanted a deal similar to his $1.05 million salary last year with the White Sox and Giants, while the Pirates were offering a $500,000 base contract and $500,000 more in performance bonuses.

	Kenny Lofton \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Lofton grew up in the projects of East Chicago, Indiana and was a four-year starter for the George Washington High School baseball team before taking his athletic talents to the University of Arizona.
		Lofton’s phenomenal speed helped him cover vast tracts of outfield turf, and he routinely left frustrated batters and disbelieving fans alike with their jaws dangling at their knees when he hurled his 6’0", 190-pound frame high above outfield walls to snatch would-be home runs out of the sky.
		Lofton has his 3rd five-hit game of the season and winning pitcher John Smoltz (5—3) adds two hits to lift his average to.435 (10-for-23).

		ATLANTA -- Kenny Lofton is home now, playing in a city and for a team where he is appreciated, where his desire to win isn't questioned, where his ability to lead isn't undermined.
		Lofton responded by singling to center to open the game, and dropping a perfect drag bunt single in the eighth, which started the game-tying rally.
		Lofton's heir in center is Andruw Jones, though the experiment in making Jones Lofton's leadoff heir appears to have drowned.

		While it was not quite the legendary moment that Bobby Thomson's famous homer was in 1951, Kenny Lofton's game-winning, pennant-clinching single in the bottom of the ninth against the St. Louis Cardinals in 2002 will certainly rank up there when you talk about all-time great moments in Giants history.

		Kenny Lofton's strained left hamstring might be linked to his lack of playing time, he suggested yesterday, and the outfielder believes he must figure out a way to get accustomed to playing part-time to avoid future injuries.
		Lofton has been an everyday player his 13 years in the majors, he said, and his body is used to "firing out of the box on a consistent basis." But he is not a regular with the Yankees.
		Lofton added that his body was unaccustomed to "firing like it fires, powerful as it does" only a few times a week.

		Which is why Lofton didn't settle for a penny less than the $1.025 million he earned in 2002 when he split the season with the Chicago White Sox and Giants.
		Lofton saw first-hand a decade ago how the Cleveland Indians were transformed from lovable losers into an annual contender, and he doesn't see why the same thing can't happen with the Pirates, who also have added Reggie Sanders, Matt Stairs, Simon, Jeff Suppan and Matt Herges since last season.
		In Lofton's opinion, the only thing that changed was the lack of respect he received throughout baseball this winter.

		Lofton, in my opinion, fell in love with the long ball over the last few years, damaging not only his ability to hit for a high average, but the ability to get on base, overall.
		Lofton needs to put up a good five year (or a fairly decent eight year) run in order really to be HOF material.
		Kenny is a good player but he started too late and didn't put up enough good seasons to merit induction.
