Lofton is on Baker's wish list

Kenny Lofton has apparently joined Corey Patterson on Dusty Baker's wish list according to the Dayton Daily News.

When asked, Baker responded "I've talked to Lofton and there is still a chance we can sign him," said Baker. "Patterson, too. It's a matter of our budget and how it all fits. Right now, we don't have a roster spot for Lofton and he would like a major-league contract."

Did I miss something? I thought Jay Bruce was the Reds' "can't miss" prospect and the only players I keep hearing about are Norris Hopper, Kenny Lofton and Corey Patterson. I guess the knock on Baker is true, he wants veterans.

Brewers looking at Lofton, Cameron

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Milwaukee Brewers are apparently looking at veteran free agent outfielders Kenny Lofton and Mike Cameron, possibly Luis Gonzalez as well.

Lofton and Gonzalez can be had on 1-year deals while Mike Cameron is looking for a 2 or 3-year deal. I'm not sure the Brewers are willing to give Cameron either, so Lofton and Gonzalez are the likely choices.

Brewers interested in Lofton?

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, the Brewers could be looking into acquiring Kenny Lofton if they are able to move Bill Hall to 3rd and Ryan Braun to left field.
