Nick Loftin's power profile at AAA is nice and has been improving. It's weird, because when they drafted him I and most others saw them aiming for a do-everything, versatile fielder, high-average, line-drive hitter (Whit Merrifield, Michael Young, D.J. LeMahieu).
And he's really profiling more like a traditional corner bat (.250-260 BA, .350ish OBP, .500 SLG).
If Massey continues to hit, and Garcia sticks, I'm not sure that Loftin has a spot on the IF... but if he succeeds you'd have a pretty great young corps of hitters to build from:
SS: Witt
2B: Massey
3B/SS/2B: Garcia
3B/2B/CF/OF: Loftin
