Hi Ed,
 EG> I disagree. The move gives them a better player at center (Grissom IS
 EG> good but there's no doubt about the fact that Lofton is better) and
 EG> they've got much needed bullpen help.
There again, I disagree, yes Lofton does have more power, but, defensively, 
Grissom is far superior than Lofton and posesses (sp) a better arm than 
Lofton.
 EG> It also gives them $7.8 mil in IMMEDIATE savings ($6 mil in salary and
 EG> $1.8 mil in luxury tax) and if they move McGriff, it gives them $10.8 
il
 EG> that can be used on their pitchers AND Lofton.
They're going to need all the 7.8 in order to sign the pitchers.  But, like I 
say, I have no problem ith them dumping Justice.
