He has a great arm, but he also has tremendous range and gets as good of a 
jump on the ball as anyone I've seen.

You must have me confused with someone else.  I don't HAVE a "flavor of the 
month...crap list."  I'm not so naive to judge a player on one or two short 
series.  My opinions of Grissom and Lofton are based on watching them day in 
and day out over the last three years.  My opinion of Grissom being one of 
the best CFs in the game did not change because of "some stupid mistakes" in 
the playoffs.  And my opinion of Lofton as a way overrated CF would not have 
changed even if he would have had a great defensive postseason this year.
