Soriano in cf?

[Radar3454]

I have not been around much this year b/c I find it fairly depressing but Baker should be gone soon so I am getting interested again - I apologize if this has been discussed previously.

 

Soriano seems like a great fit for CF - CF is actually easier to play than the corners as long as you have enough speen to cover ground which he does and he has done better than expected in LF(I think he would be at least as good as Pierre). His bat would be great in center or 2nd but his defense is terrible at 2nd. If we signed Soriano and resign Ramirez our lineup would be solid w/ theriot, murton, soriano, lee, aram, barrett, jones, izturis - not necessarily in than order.

 

I would think many teams would be interested in him in cf but I have not heard anything - can anyone let me know why?

Flip the 3-4-5 around and make it Lee, Ramirez, and then Soriano and that's my lineup for 2007, with Wilson platooning in RF.

Because he is just a serviceable left fielder. You think he is bad at second? Stick him in center and the 2007 Cubs blooper reels would be full of all sort of interesting pass patterns he was running out there.

 

Soriano has gotten better in left but he is still at a point that makes Dunn look like a solid outfielder with a glove. As so many others are fond of quoting around here; at his age I dont expect to see any improvement.

I haven't seen him play much but since early in the season I thought he played really well in LF and isn't even comparable to Dunn. It isn't like Pierre is very good anyway.

You should just put that in your sig in large, bolded type.
