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
Considering the lack of OF we have if Garcia sticks then Loftin can go out there or just see starting ABs as a super utility.
