Soriano to DL-fracture of the left metacarpal

We'll need more details to know how severe. According to this site, if no joints are effected, it is non-operative and requires one month. Of course, we all know that hand/wrist injuries can affect a hitter beyond the healing time (Nomar, Lee.)

Hes out about 5 weeks in my estimation. Then will probably start to work his way back.

 

 

We don't see Soriano in the Cubs uni for 7 weeks imo.

 

 

EDIT: ESPN just said 6 weeks.

[snoodmonger]

Announcers just said "at least 6 weeks."

 

Do you consider signing Bonds?

[shnsajax]

At least 6 weeks they just said. Pujols strikes back.

[Derwood]

get on the phone, Jim

[CubsGM]

This is what you all get for laughing at Pujols' injury

[erik316wttn]

God dammit, why does it have to be one of our best hitters?

 

Someone in St. Louis sold his soul to the devil. That's the only possible explanation.

[JimSorgi]

Barry Bonds, your table is ready.

[Derwood]

Kosuke needs a friend. go trade for Ichiro or something

[Magnetic Curses]

Barry Bonds, your table is ready.

 

yes, please.

[imb]

adam dunn, imo.

 

tell kosuke "sorry, but we got extenuation circumstances" and toss his ass in CF when Alf is healthy

[Derwood]

Dunn

 

lefty

power

LF

 

do it

[Transmogrified Tiger]

A Fontenot/Murton platoon would probably come relatively close to matching Soriano's production. Much less power, but a good bit more OBP.

adam dunn, imo.

 

tell kosuke "sorry, but we got extenuation circumstances" and toss his ass in CF when Alf is healthy

 

yeah, that would be optimal.

[TruffleShuffle]

just say no to barry bonds

[Shilzzz]

Hoffpauir?

 

i hear he comes cheap.

[shnsajax]

Barry Bonds, your table is ready.

 

yes, please.

 

Its interesting. Can Hoff play LF?

[Magnetic Curses]

Barry Bonds, your table is ready.

 

yes, please.

 

Its interesting. Can Hoff play LF?

 

i don't see why not, but i'd rather have someone who's sure to produce.

[bhogg]

Fukudome RF

Theriot SS

Lee 1B

ARam 3B

Soto C

DeRosa 2B

Edmonds CF

Murton LF

Pitcher

 

 

Why can't that lineup not produce enough to win ball games? Remember, the cubs lead the NL in ERA. . . a slight drop in offense isn't going to kill them.

 

Soriano is good, but not pujols good.

[CubbieBum]

I hope people are kidding with the Bonds stuff. That would be the one way I would drop the Cubs. I will not support a team that knowly signs a cheater even if that is the Cubs. Now if we get Dunn I can see Baker demanding Bonds in Cinci.

[radarluv1]

now is calf can heal completely

[Little Slide Rooter]

Edmonds should get center full time as long as hes playing well, and Johnson and Hoff should platoon left.

[OleMissCub]

how typical

[Derwood]

Edmonds should get center full time as long as hes playing well, and Johnson and Hoff should platoon left.

 

nah, free Matt Murton

[hardcorecubfan]

now is calf can heal completely

 

That is a good way of looking at it
