Say Hey

We started to get a little bit excited when word started to make the rounds recently that the real life Willie Mays Hayes, Kenny Lofton, might make a return appearance in a Tribe uni at the ripe age of 41. He's killing it right now in Texas, hitting over .300, and looks to be a pretty solid left-handed addition to the suspect platoon going on in the Indians' corner outfield slots. We met Kenny once, on a busted-ass driving range in SoCal, and he was very friendly, and very complimentary about Cleveland and his time there. So, we were extra excited.

HOWEVA, we just heard Tim Kurkjian say on ESPN that the Rangers had asked for Adam Miller in return for Lofton. That's stud, future-ace, pitcher Adam Miller, and not another Adam Miller who catches bullpen session in AA, as we thought it may have been. Apparently, the Rangers' GM was still on a contact high from his 10-year high school reunion when he made that demand. Are you kidding me? John Hart, you clearly left the Rangers in good hands when you bailed, man.
