Bruce Marshall was seen kissing Large Marge and telling us:
BM> I hate to say this, but, this move makes Atlanta weaker.
I disagree. The move gives them a better player at center (Grissom IS good
but there's no doubt about the fact that Lofton is better) and they've got
much needed bullpen help.
It also gives them $7.8 mil in IMMEDIATE savings ($6 mil in salary and $1.8
mil in luxury tax) and if they move McGriff, it gives them $10.8 mil that can
be used on their pitchers AND Lofton.
