I think a lot of people also realized how overrated he was at the time. People were stoked about speed and how he could "fuck with the pitchers head" when the trade was made. Also Cubs fans seemed to be desperate for a "true leadoff hitter", in the years around 03 to 05. After watching him all year I think people found out he is pretty much a 5th outfielder.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ahh, I can understand that.
I remember the arm being weaker than weak, but I always thought he was OK leading off. That makes sense though about getting exciting over getting a true leadoff man, because Lofton was kind of the teaser in showing what an established leadoff man could do.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
