Is this the end of the road for Kenny Lofton? After many different travels through many different cities has Kenny Lofton finally laced the shoes up for the last time. Many people will tell you he has, but I don't know about that. Even though he isn't the player he once was he still has a lot left in his tank. If you don't believe me just ask the New York Yankees who seen what he could do.

Kenny Lofton has been rumored as a possibility in Minnesota since Torri Hunter went to the Angels. I think in the end that is probably where he could end up. It also maybe on a contender, but that won't happen until much later in the season I think. Lofton should be given a shot somewhere as he still has the talent to get the job done. He is one player no mater if you like him or hate him he has done a great job for whomever he has played for. Many people wonder if his numbers are enough for the Hall Of Fame and I would say no. He is not to far away from 3,000 hits so maybe he will get a chance to reach that milestone. No matter what it will be interesting.

Art Monk finally got elected to the Hall Of Fame which is a place he should have been many years ago. Monk has been dismissed as a candidate for various reasons, but in my opinion all were just lame excuses. Monk play on a team where he wasn't usually the main guy, but if you needed a third down converted he was the guy to go to.

 Many people slighted Art Monk as he was not the media darlings others were and just went on the field every Sunday and did his job. Over 800 receptions and his 162 game streak of catching at least one pass in a game is a testament to how good he was. The Hall of Fame seems to slight people that everyone knows should be in the Hall of Fame.

Older players have become bitter about the slow election process of guys that should be their. I totally agree with them and wonder when a player is going to tell the Hall of Fame thanks but no thanks. I guess you really can't blame them as that time is going to arrive sooner than later.
