Lofton would be a great pick-up. He would step right into the same role Cat had a few years ago and split time with Johnson. Lofton owns right handed hitting with .822 against righties over the past three years. Lofton is a better fit than Cat as he's ideal for the lead-off position so him and Johnson become inter-changable at the top of the order.
